It's OK people, relax, Bunnings Karen and her people have investigated and determined that there was no earthquake. It was caused by Aliens.

Melbourne residents warned of potential aftershocks after 3.8-magnitude earthquake.

Gotta love the media, they say city was struck by a particularly strong earthquake overnight.

Yet earthquakes of this magnitude are regarded as 'minor'.

Unless I see supermarket shelves rocking and tins of food falling into the aisles on National Nine news, it didn't happen.

Apparently the earthquakes are the symptom of the whole country heading to Bali, at the speed of 7cm per year. In a few thousand years, Melbourne will be sub-tropical.
