Magnitude 4.7 - SHIKOKU, JAPAN


Earthquake brings New Zealand closer to Australia

As countries with strong national identities, it can safely be said that Australia and New Zealand

are worlds apart. However, a strong earthquake in the region has brought the fierce rivals closer – 30cm to be precise.

The 7.8-magnitude quake appears to have jolted the South Island and moved it towards Australia, the New Zealand Herald reported.

Global positioning systems showed that Te Anau, a town in the remote Fiordland region, was now 10cm closer to Australia, it said, while the South Island's south-western tip, Puysegur Point, was 30cm (11.8ins) closer.

Almost a foot in one jolt is pretty impressive.
