Historic Earthquake Studies-Safinal
Historical earthquakes in South Australia Kevin McCue CQU Rockhampton, Queensland Abstract Three earthquakes have etched themselves into the collective memories of South Australians, the damaging 1897 Kingston-Beachport, 1902 (so-called) Warooka and 1954 Adelaide earthquakes but thousands more earthquakes in SA have been recorded since 1954, or were reported before the first seismograph was installed in Adelaide on 26 June 1909. The 1902 and 1954 earthquakes damaged buildings in Adelaide as did an earthquake in 1840 just after the city was born. Chimneys in Burra were knocked down in an earthquake in 1896. On average, between one and two earthquakes per month are reported felt in South Australia today (Alison Wallace – pers. comm.), but only half of these would be reported by the media which is a useful yardstick for historical studies such as this report. Several hundred earthquakes felt in Australia have been documented in three volumes of the Isoseismal Atlas of Australia and by Malpas (1993) and others but sources have not yet been exhausted as is demonstrated with new information on 51 felt earthquakes, many of which have not had a magnitude and location tabulated before. An earthquake in 1911 previously assigned to the Eyre Peninsula has been relocated to Gulf St Vincent, an example of an interesting feature of SA seismicity; the occasional almost simultaneous occurrence of earthquakes in different parts of the state. The combined Modified Mercalli intensity dataset has been used to make an earthquake hazard assessment for Adelaide, the result is in the same ballpark as that of Christchurch New Zealand, of the order of a thousand years return period for a destructive earthquake. -

Heritage and Geology
Conservation Themes – Heritage 3.3 Heritage Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage sites have been used in the process of assessing conservation priority within the Limestone Coast and Coorong region. Aboriginal heritage sites have been buffered and so only generalised location is shown for these. 3.3.1 Non-Indigenous Heritage There are a number of non-Indigenous heritage registers currently in use in Australia: World Heritage, National Heritage, Commonwealth Heritage, Register of the National Estate (RNE), State Heritage and Local Heritage. These are discussed in more detail in Appendix 13. There are no places recorded in the World or National heritage registers within the SE coastal boundary. All non-Indigenous heritage sites with legislated heritage protection in South Australia are recorded in the South Australian Heritage Register Database (SAHRDB). This includes places of State significance as well as other categories of heritage places in South Australia including World, National, Commonwealth and local and contributory places. Other places of heritage significance, which were identified in regional heritage surveys commissioned by the Heritage Branch of DENR, are also included in this database. Cultural heritage places that are protected by legislation (World, National, Commonwealth, State, Local and Shipwrecks) are generally deemed to have significance according to specific criteria and so have values that should be protected and conserved. The majority of coastal townships in the South East were established because of their connection with the sea, providing a service centre and link between the farming (or mining) activities nearby and the ships which provided transport to other parts of the state, Australia or the world. -
