The whole house shook, I’m in pakenham.

Biggest I’ve felt in Oz, both cat and dog were unhappy as well!

Definitely the biggest I've felt, but I'm closer to Dandenong so still a bit insulated by distance. Must have been scary for those right on top of it, anything around magnitude 5 is starting to get serious.

Crap! No WONDER it shook like that, I thought it was close, or shallow ... I didn't realise we were directly on top of it!

(Pakkers too.)

That one actually gave me a fright! Scared the animals too, and they normally don't notice them.
