more quaking

A 4.5 magnitude earthquake has been felt in Melbourne and eastern Victoria, 12 days after a similar tremor.
The tremor occurred about 5km northeast of Korumburra, 100km southeast of Melbourne, at 4.28pm (AEDT) on Wednesday.
The epicentre is in the same area of an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.6 on the Richter scale which hit on March 6.
The Seismology Research Centre said an aftershock sequence is expected to continue.
There have been no reports of damage and it is unlikely an earthquake of this magnitude and depth will cause any significant damage, the centre's website said.

Hi Dawning One!
Long time no see... Hope the small quakes don't announce anything more serious...

Meanwhile, India 2008 is coming to its end at Blogtrotter. There are still some marvels to come ;). Look forward to reading your comments! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
