Same here, I honestly thought the roof might come down. I was sitting at the computer which is right next to the front door - I was out in record time! I stood outside and watched the house shake and rattle for maybe 10 or 15 seconds. It was very weird to see. When I went to bed later on there was a 2 metre crack in the plaster directly above the pillows!

I live in Yarra Junction which is about half way b/w Melbourne and Moe which was the epicenter. My neighbour tells me we're on a fault line, but I'm not sure if that's true, because the agent who sold me the house never mentioned it.

'Biggest magnitude earthquake in Victoria since 1903 ....'

Real Estate Agents and earthquake/fault line warnings ....... I sense an absence of compatability for some reason.....
