They must be linked. Cessnock had a 2.7 last night.

Seriously though, I hope all are OK.

Short rattle of my windows last night, 30 or 40km's away. The coal trains rattle them more, but it was a different shake. Definitely no damage though.

Is Cessnock on some kind of fault line?  I know there has been some earthquake activity in that area in the past.
