Earthquake! I think. The house shook anyway.
Maturity optional:

Indeed it was. Now I have the heebies.

The actual answer:
On a human timescale these feel like a concerning uptick in frequency. On a geological timescale, these are all happening in the blink of an eye and are almost definitely related to the 2021 Mansfield quake.
Slept right through it in Northcote.

Apparently it was a 4.8 near apollo bay
