I was sitting on the couch, talking on the phone to a geologist (she was VERY interested in my experience). I heard the noise coming first, then felt the rolling waves and heard my bookshelf doors rattling and watched my artworks sway. It went for a very long time, easing off a bit and then stronger (the bookshelf doors rattled twice, for about 30 seconds each time). The last things to stop were the rolling vibration of the couch and the swaying of one of the artworks. The whole thing went for about 2.5 minutes, and is the strongest I've felt in Darwin over the last 17 years. I felt today's earthquake in Nightcliff.
