What are the geological features surrounding the recent Australian earthquake?

[QUOTE="davenn, post: 5479956, member: 283516"] yeah, I'm starting to have less and less trust in the USGS/NEIC for magnitude determinations of late The magnitude estimates seem to be really screwball for events that are well outside their main monitoring regions The M6.7 and 6.8 events in Ecuador last week are a prime example of complete inconsistence in their magnitude estimates For places like Australia and New Zealand ( where there are excellent local organisations) I will always prefer to go with their posted magnitudes as those local organisations have high densities of recording stations to draw data from. Now, back to the Australian event and its aftershocks. Geoscience Australia has reported only one aftershock reaching or exceeding M4 and that was a M 4.1. Three other events reached M 3.8 Here's a list of aftershocks for the first 24 hours .. a reasonably active sequence [ATTACH=full]101084[/ATTACH] It would be interesting to see if the main event caused any surface faulting. If there is any, it wouldn't be too difficult to see across the desert floor from a low level helicopter flight over the area. The pic below is typical of the look of the region. This is Uluru ( Ayres Rock) and the quake was around 80km west of here [ATTACH=full]101085[/ATTACH]Dave . [/QUOTE]
