In Warragul, did not feel a thing.

Hi,
My wife and i were watching tv last night, and we heard rumbling and it sounded like trucks ,thought it was a quake however there was no shaking of ground,
We live between Longwarry and Drouin.
I have no idea what time it was,, This was on March 4 2015,i hope this helps.
I also felt it at 12:30ish today in Traf.First thought was a train vibrating my bedroom walls and window.Soon realised it was a tremor due to the rumble sound that’s different from a train passing on the highway.
Yes I felt the earthquake at Hernes Oak at 12.35pm. A small wall rack containing some crockery above a butchers block on an internal wall rattled for a couple of seconds and it sounded like a gust of wind.
