Description

Australia was hit by a huge 5.9 magnitude earthquake this morning. The biggest in history for the state of Victoria.

In today's episode, I tell you about my experience as I felt the earthquake whilst sitting down with my family at breakfast.

The 2021 Australia earthquake had an epicentre located outside of Mansfield in Victoria.

The earthquake was felt in the cities of Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra, and Brisbane, and throughout Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, ACT, and Queensland.

I also talk about how earthquakes occur, where they occur, why Australia has earthquakes, but not the huge devastating earthquakes like those that hit Japan, Chile, North America, etc. We also talk about how earthquakes are measured.
