Earthquakes are not uncommon in Australia and are occasionally a threat to life and property as so tragically demonstrated by the Newcastle earthquake. This report 411contains information on earthquakes of Richter magnitude 3 or greater that were reported in the Australian region during 1991. An annual report has been compiled since 1980 by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), using data from AGSOand contributing seismological agencies in Australia. Its purposes are to aid the study of earthquake risk in Australia, and to provide information on Australian and world earthquakes for scientists, engineers and the general public. The report has six main sections: Australian region earthquakes; Isoseismal maps; Network operations; Accelerograph data; Principal world earthquakes; and Monitoring of nuclear explosions.
