Jul 26, 2008 - i was 4 and we lived in waratah west. all i can remember is the rumbling noise and wen i run down the hall to mum on the lounge the house just seemed to move and then it was ova. waratah wasnt hit to bad though. i thought it was funny seeing those FTruck ambulances they still had them wen i was living there in 2003.

Jul 26, 2008 - Don't have the know-how to do it unfortunately. I'm sure one of your relatives or someone would have recorded it at the time - I reckon there'd be loads of copies around.

Jul 26, 2008 - I was 4 years old when it happened and I still remember the day vividly...we lived in Eleebana and I was riding my trike on our deck (my sister was sitting on the swing) I then started pedalling really fast and my sister yelled " Xxxxx stop your making the house shake!" My Dad and other sister were raking leaves out the front, and they saw the vibration waves rolling up the street, then the destruction it left behind..RIP all the poor soles who passed away...

Jul 26, 2008 - I have the news reels recorded on VCR. I'm gonna get a capture card for some other VCR stuff. If I have the time I might pull the news articles for you and post them. Quality might be an issue but we'll see I guess. The first thing that will strike you is how retro the reporter's hair is!
