Looks like I've of the basin edge normal faults going out into Bass Strait.
Yeah, you get the S waves first which oddly a lot of people do not feel if they are too weak, while others are hypersensitive to even very minimal S waves. I read somewhere this is a bit like some people suffering sea sickness while others do not.

Nearly everyone experiences earthquakes with P waves the same as the back and forth wobble.

One little story from my childhood. I was up in the Mallee on a huge property when I was about 9 or 10, standing in a massive field of wheat that came up to about chest height. A small earthquake struck a town nearby and I just happened to be facing the direction the S waves approached from, I could see it ripple across the top of the wheat like the swell rolling in towards you at the beach but much much faster, it was a bizarre scene because you could see crests and troughs over several kilometres of wheat even though the wave height was probably only a couple of centimetres.

Guarantee it was climate change.  Still waiting for that pinhead Bandt to confirm that.

Just thinking of that gives me cold shivers.    Wash out your mouth .

Tectonic plate movement in NZ apparently, so it's the Kiwis' fault!

I understand that the Federal Government is responding to the earthquake by giving NSW a $700M disaster relief package ...
