'We thought a truck had hit our building' - Irish near Melbourne react to earthquake

Emergency workers survey damage in Melbourne, Australia, where debris is scattered on a road after part of a wall fell from a building during an earthquake.

A pregnant Irish woman in Melbourne describes her house as "bouncing" during the magnitude 6 earthquake in the city in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The quake hit 80 miles northeast of Australia's second-most populous city near the town of Mansfield at a depth of 10 kilometres (six miles), the government agency said.
