Kalgoorlie Earthquake Rocks WA

A recent earthquake rocked Kalgoorlie in WA

Its said the earthquake fault runs from the south of Perth all the way north to Darwin

Perth itself is on the same fault at the base of the Darling range

Perth is formed on an alluvial sandplain full of swamps, and can easily disappear into the sea at any time

The old Boans building had pumps running 24 hrs per day to keep the water table down

And probably still does

Even Yanchep buildings on the coast gets cracked houses from the quakes
