  • Historical Earthquakes in Western Australia Kevin Mccue Australian Seismological Centre, Canberra ACT
    Historical Earthquakes in Western Australia Kevin McCue Australian Seismological Centre, Canberra ACT. Abstract This paper is a tabulation and description of some earthquakes and tsunamis in Western Australia that occurred before the first modern short-period seismograph installation at Watheroo in 1958. The purpose of investigating these historical earthquakes is to better assess the relative earthquake hazard facing the State than would be obtained using just data from the post–modern instrumental period. This study supplements the earlier extensive historical investigation of Everingham and Tilbury (1972). It was made possible by the Australian National library project, TROVE, to scan and make available on-line Australian newspapers published before 1954. The West Australian newspaper commenced publication in Perth in 1833. Western Australia is rather large with a sparsely distributed population, most of the people live along the coast. When an earthquake is felt in several places it would indicate a larger magnitude than one in say Victoria felt at a similar number of sites. Both large interplate and local intraplate earthquakes are felt in the north-west and sometimes it is difficult to identify the source because not all major historical earthquakes on the plate boundary are tabulated by the ISC or USGS. An earthquake on 29 April 1936 is a good example, local or distant source? An interesting feature of the large earthquakes in WA is their apparent spatial and temporal migration, the latter alluded to by Everingham and Tilbury (1972). One could deduce that the seismicity rate changed before the major earthquake in 1906 offshore the central west coast of WA.
