Local Earthquakes 2005

Explanatory Note
The following is a list of local earthquakes detected by stations operated by the NBSN during the 2005 calendar year. The magnitude type provided is Richter local magnitude determined from the FS03 recording.

For a fuller listing of Australian earthquakes go to either the Geoscience Australia web site, or the Seismology Research Centre's web site.
