I live in Bonbeach, felt a 10-15 second jolt and heard a little brick movement in our house. Was lying on the couch, it felt like I was floating on the ocean!

Most of the recent ones have had an epicentre around Korumburra. I assume this one was from there as well. Tonights one would be 5.

That was a ripper. Thought I was going crazy. I have a raised floor and it was pretty noticeable. Plates in the sink clunked around and water in a glass went all T-Rex from Jurassic Park like.

Another thing, it has now been half an hour since the tremors and still no seismology reports on the BoM website. Pathetic!

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake has shaken Melbourne and parts of Victoria.

Windows were rattled and floors rocked as the tremor hit around 8.55pm (AEST) and lasted for around 30 to 40 seconds.

Send photos and video of the damage to news.feedback@ninemsn.com.au

The US Geological Survey website registered a 5.2-magnitude quake 10km southwest of Moe, at a depth of 9.9km.

The Bureau of Meteorology said the quake was felt further afield than Melbourne, with reports coming in from Bright and Myrtleford in the northeast and Wonthaggi in the southeast of Victoria.

More to come...

5.5 earthquake rocks Victoria

A MAGNITUDE 5.5 earthquake has rocked the southeast coast of Australia.

Seismologists recorded the massive murmur – almost 10km deep - at 8.53pm.

The mammoth quake spread itself statewide, reaching as far as 10km across south-west of Moe, 18km west of Morwell, 30km off Traralgon and 78km south-west of Sale.

A spokeswoman for Geoscience Australia said its recordings showed it was a magnitude 5.5 earthquake, which was more accurate than international seismologist estimates.

The epicentre has been identified 16km south-west of Moe, at the Latrobe Valley in Victoria’s east.

“Our preliminary information is that it’s a 5.5,” she said.

We're in Traralgon, thought it was a train or something until the house started to rumble. The little fella slept through it, but the little girl was a bit frightened.

My magazines at work (Newborough) have tipped over and there is plastery dust on my desk from the ceiling.

A pretty cool pic of where earthquakes have occured around the world since 1898. It shows pretty much shows where all the 'borders' of tectonic plates are.

My wife is Filipino and I've spent 3 years over there living in Northern Luzon.

That area is glowing on the pic and it's something you have to experience. Earthquakes are common, the Filipinos don't batter an eyelid.

They are more focussed on the continual typhoons that come
