Northern Territory’s Chief Minister has reacted to the
region’s early morning earthquake, saying it was the
most dramatic he’s felt.
Michael Gunner revealed his wife and young son were
woken by the tremor just before 5.30am AEDT after being
asked whether he felt the quake.
“Bloody oath,” he told reporters.
“I stayed in bed but Kristy jumped up and was worried
about (son) Hudson.”
“I think Hudson was probably the safest person in the
house. It went for a very long time, maybe a few
minutes I say.”

He went on to detail how the earthquake, which hit
Indonesia’s Barat Daya Islands hardest, was the biggest
he had experienced in Darwin.
“It was a fairly large shake,” he said.
“Obviously I’ve felt a few shakes here in Darwin,
that’s the largest shake I can think of.
“I feel for anyone who’s living in an upstairs unit or
up a fair few stories …. they would have felt that
quite dramatically.”
The quake is believed to have been a magnitude-7.2
quake and hit north of East Timor at 5.25am AEDT on
Thursday morning.
Almost 2000 people have reported feeling the earthquake
to Geoscience Australia.
