Yeah - wife on the phone to her mum in Drouin, she felt it then we did here in Knox... the conversation has been like two giggling school girls since...

felt pretty strong around here, shook the windows and doors, things didnt fall off the shelves or anything.

Are you sure?
It wasn't the neighbours up the road that had some dodgy Indian take away?

Bill,

We got it at Berwick.

Jenny was watching TV in bed, I was watching the Footy in the other room and she came racing in scantily clad.

I offered to make the earth move for her again LOL.

Anyway, back to the footy after half time.

Cheers,

Jim.

Thought at first the wind had sprung up since most of the vibration was in the ceiling.

Good line about the earth moving. God, er, Gough rather, still lives ;-}

Sitting outside around the pizza oven.... 13 yo's birthday party.

Didn't feel a thing. Just over the hills along the Strezleckis.

Mind you at that time there were lots of screams as the kids hit the heck out of a pinyata [spelling??].
