QuickQuake is only intended for local earthquakes, not distant events. Listed locations are automatic estimates and are often completely wrong.

  1. Pick an event – hit bullseye to load data (hit More for older events)
  2. Select waveform with best S wave – hit bullseye
  3. Drag P from left to start of event
  4. Drag S from right to S wave
  5. Continue to locate
  6. Choose model#2 for South Australia or model#1 for Victoria
  7. Drag bullseye around circle to get P and S waves to line up with 2 red lines.
  8. Hit View Report to see where it was.
