    That was in case you had any old Disneyland ticket books handy.

    You can still redeem them on an EQ sim ride!

    We get a tremor or two every few years here, that's all. And they sort of go unnoticed really, they are that small.
    I remember an old guy I had working for me about twenty years ago, his name was George and he lived in a suburb called Campbelltown. He was a funny old fella...always ready for a joke.
    Anyway, one early AM there was a tremor in Campbelltown, and I rang George to ask him if he felt it......his reply...."Well I tell ya John, I woke up this morning at 5am, the bed was shaking...I thought it was my birthday"

    But a funny thing is......years ago they had an earthquake in a city called Newcastle, which is sort of half way between where I live and Sydney.
    It was a one off earthquake, did quite a bit of damage to Newcastle, as it's a very old city, lots of old buildings in it. So it took us Aussies by surprise, that we could ever have an earthquake like that.
    They mine a lot of coal there, as they also do in Campbelltown (in my previous post).
    Because I collect fossils as a hobby, I have lots of Geological maps that I consult from time to time. These maps also indicate fault lines.....and Newcastle and Campbelltown have lots of them.....so I guess those faults get a little restless from time to time.
