WARNINGS: This event is in the Sugarloaf State Conservation Area. The event area has a large number of subsidence cracks and you may encounter leeches and ticks. Some subsidence cracks are marked with red/white tape. A particular danger is star pickets on subsidence survey lines which have been left with ~400mm protruding above the ground. Most of these have white PVC tubing around them to mark them and reduce the danger, but some may be naked.
