About the episode
On 16 August, a magnitude-5.6 earthquake hit southern Queensland near Kilkivan, shaking homes across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Hervey Bay. No major damage or injuries were reported, though such moderate earthquakes, occurring around 350 times a year, can cause minor structural damage. SBS Hindi spoke to locals about their experiences, while authorities continue to monitor for possible aftershocks.
