There was plenty of damage to Federation Square in the centre of Melbourne.
That's "modern" buildings for you.
They don't design them like I used to do.

This was meant to be the second photo.
You will notice that even in the midst of disaster, Melbournians still need their coffee.

I was on Skype to Martin du when the earthquake struck them, fortunately although the earth moved for them they had no damage.

It's a bit hard to tell whether the Fed Square building was damaged or not, it looks like that all the time
