Geoscience Australia

Did sort of geophysics.

Came back to Australia, worked at Geoscience Australia for a long time.

And I was in the offshore basins area doing geophysics.

The irony there was the undergraduate time when I did the geophysics courses meant that I didn't do any of the sedimentology.

So We have some site work to do over the next few months and we expect to be constructing and commissioning this antenna in early 2022.

In addition to our new antenna and the 26 metre, the University of Tasmania operates an array of three 12 metre antennas in collaboration with Geoscience Australia.

And this array of antennas plays a key role in Australia's position, navigation and timing infrastructure.

These antennas are located at three sites across Australia.

Oh, 100% agree.

In about 1995, the precursor to the Geoscience Australia gave up updating the map of Australia.

Our company came along and said, well, that's not good enough if we're going to be going out there.

We need update information.

There was some major roads, but that was about it.

And our company, and Henry and Margaret in particular, wanted to explore further and map it.

In about 1995, and this is an important thing to remember, in 1995, mid-90s, the precursor to the Geoscience Australia, here our mapping department, gave up updating the map of Australia.

Yeah.

There was a 3.1 magnitude earthquake recorded near Douglas Park last week.

Now, there's nothing officially reported yet by Geoscience Australia.

So, Nathan, you're just working, what, in the shed there and you felt the ground move?

Definitely.

It just seems very, very rushed.

But what do you expect from an Albanese government that would rather look good on the world stage than actually make a difference to those Australians who purportedly voted for them? 131873, the number.

Now, off the back of that previous call about a earthquake near Douglas Park, Geoscience Australia is now reporting that, yes, there was an earthquake near Douglas Park in our southwest.

They've recorded a 2.4 magnitude quake east of the Hume Highway.

While the tremor was considered minor, there has been 113 reports of locals feeling the event.

According to Geoscience Australia's website, the event was recorded at a depth of 10 kilometres.

There has been some reports of damage at properties around the area.

A driver will be summoned to appear in court after being intercepted by police in Moore Street in Warrnambool.

The earthquake's epicentre reported to have been close to Douglas Park, south of Sydney, at a depth of three kilometres.

According to Geoscience Australia, the quake struck after 1pm near Appen, David Baker had been watching television in his fifth floor unit in Campbelltown.

When it hit, he told the Telegraph, I've never felt anything quite like it before.

It lasted for about 10 seconds.

As for Sydney, well, sunny and 20 in town, 22 for Penrith, Terry Hills 19, 21 for Campbelltown and Parramatta.

Speaking of Campbelltown, by the way, I've just had it confirmed here from Geoscience Australia.

An earthquake did strike near Appen just after one o'clock.

Magnitude 3.4.
