Earthquake?

'Julia puts foot down'

srsly, are there any fault lines through Canberra itself (-or are they outside city limits)?

[Sinista32]

outside the city, apparently near wee jasper.

About 45kms away I heard on Teevs

and it'd be Julia falling down after her training session for the new season of Biggest Looser

Aaah yes; I should have realised - big hips.

Wee Jasper. Out of interest, how did that town get its name?

[Sinista32]

The most romantic origin of the name Wee Jasper comes from folklore and is attributed to an early resident, McBean, an old Scot, one of the earliest settlers. McBean, so the story goes, arrived home one day with some "wee(Scottish for small) Jasper(A type of Gemstone found in the area)" in his pocket, found in some obscure stream in the hills.

none in Canberra that I know of...up in the Brindies there are a few apparently

[Trozzle]

Hopefully nobody gets "fault lines" mixed up with the boundaries of tectonic plates where major earthquakes typically occur, of which we are nowhere near any.

IT HAS BEGUN!!!!!

Theres some good fault lines next to lake george, those super steep hills.

If you look at the map they are the major ones in this area, but are mere wrinkles compared to plate boundaries.

Thats right its 2012! OH MY GOD!
