Ian Laurie                                                                                             Wheat farmer, Gnowangerup, south western WA.

Operates Gnowangerup site. Ian has quite a technical bent, and has introduced wireless telemetry from a remote secondary station, 5 km from his home seismograph.

  Ian became interested in seismology after his house was nearly knocked down by one in late 2007. Actually it was a whole series of smaller earthquakes ( about a thousand or so) over the space of about 3 weeks.                                                    Vic installed a seismograph there in Feb 2008, and it has worked well ever since, with Ian's caring assistance.

Jenny Bevan                                                                                            Jenny has been curator of the E. de C Clarke Museum of Earth Sciences at the University of WA since 1997, and was keen to sponsor the first station in the current Regional Seismic Network. She finds the seismograph is one of the big attractions of her museum, and is keen to promote Seismology to the many school groups she has visiting her museum.

John Harris

John started sending GIF data around 27th of May 2010 from two instruments, a Lehman long period horizontl and an AS1 vertical located on a slab under his house.

The location under the house proved to be an environmentally noisy location, however a significant event near Cleve was successfully recorded on Saturday 5th June 2010.

Early July 2010  the station was moved to a shed adjacent to the home and a L15B geophone and another ADC/amplifier 4 channel board was added.

The station was registered as MPTV with the International Seismological Centre on 20th July 2010
