An unusually slow-decaying earthquake has been shaking South Gippsland grazing country. Seismologists deployed monitoring networks after a shallow magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck on October 3. Mark Quigley, a professor of earthquake science at the University of Melbourne, confirmed the main quake struck at a shallow depth of 5.8km, about 5km north-east of Korumburra.
