A microearthquake survey around the fault scarp caused by the 1979 Cadoux, Western Australia, earthquake located 36 earthquakes (ML 0-2.4) over 7 weeks from October to December 1983. The earthquakes show a NNE-SSW trend on the westward side of the fault complex, consistent with a westward dipping fault plane. The earthquakes are evenly distributed along the length of the fault. The more accurately located earthquakes are 0-6 km deep.
