I'm in Trafalgar. Was just sitting down to Indian takeaway after getting home from work. Scared the bollocks out of me. Sparked an impromptu street party, my next door neighbour was rather concerned. Could hear a lot of laughter though, there were a few nervous people out there clearly.
Didn't detect it down in Torquay, nor did friends in the immediate area. A friend up the road in Waurn Ponds claimed his chair shook, but that's about it. Only became aware of it when family, who certainly felt it, called from Kyneton to discuss it.
It was nothing compared to how much the MCG was rocking about 5.00pm on the last day in September 1980

We live near Cranbourne and have had 3 since March 2009 including last nights. So my wife and i are used to them. When it started, we looked at each other and i said, oh another tremor.... then it started to intesify and at the same time we jumped up and ran for the kids (who sleep in bunks). That prolonged 20 seconds or so, then when it intesified shook me a little bit at the time. was mre worried about the beds collapsing or tipping over.
We live in the northeast at Panton Hill. I felt 2 distinct shocks. At first it was like the house had been hit by a massive gust of wind, eased-off a bit, then started again, not quite as bad. It's an old cobbled together house on wooden stumps, and I was a bit concerned with the swaying. Afterwards it was pretty cool.
