I have been there many times for work, but can't it is a place that I would choose to go to. I have a few stories from the trips, but none that I choose to post here.

I was in the underground car park at Tuggeranong and standing on a man hole cover plate when it started to move and felt like I was standing on a see saw, Did not think about an earth quake at the time but I guess that is what caused the cover to move..
I have a quake detector at home but don't know if it sounded or not. (No chart recorder)

A quake detector in Canberra, seriously? Are you a seismologist?
Just asking as i have never heard of quakes in that area.

The government agencies have quake detectors all over Australia.
The great dividing Range was formed by earthquakes, proving much of Australia has been subject to earthquakes for millions of years.

No not a quakeologist Just have a detector that runs non stop. It has yet to signal any tremors of note within 500 km
The occasional tremor runs through here that usually does no more than than rattle the tea cups.

Been a few years now but there used to be plenty of quakes west of Canberra, Dalton was the usual hotspot

I am seriously considering building one myself.

The Lake George area is actually an active area due to the fault
that created the lake in the first place.
That is the ridge that runs along it.

If you look carefully, There are geo sensors right along the roadside.

Yep ...I lived in Japan a long time and went through tremors and quakes all the time.. You learn to instantly wake up to any rumble.
My bed was vibrating and no it wasnt the mrs's toy.. Definitely bit of ground disturbance

 

[Goldfreak]

Epicentre near mount barker apparently.
