Earthquake Rocks Frankston

EARTHQUAKE ROCKS FRANKSTON



A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit in the early

hours of this morning, with the epicentre in Frankston Victims were

seen wandering around aimlessly muttering, "F**kin ell" and "Whadda

carnt". The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately $30

worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the

Commodore Appreciation Society and the Frankston Progress Hall were

damaged beyond repair.

Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed.

Many locals were woken well before their welfare cheques arrived.

Frankston Radio reported that hundreds of residents were confused and

bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something

interesting had happened in the area.



One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said "It

was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my

bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept

through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Jerry Springer

after the quake had hit". Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime

carried on as normal.

The Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Vegemite to

the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still

searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of

personal belongings, which include benefit books, flannelet shirts,

jewellery from Priceline and bone china from Safeway



***************** HOW YOU CAN HELP*****************



This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing, parcels for those

unfortunate to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought

after. Items most needed include: baseball caps, tracksuit tops (his

and hers), Shell Suits (female), white sport socks, sturdy boots, moccasins

, flannelette shirts and torn jeans or

any other items usually sold in Op Shops. Food parcels may be harder

to come by, but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs include,

Fruit Loops, Kebabs, McDonalds, KFC, pies, ice cream and cans of VB

, Bacardi Breezer or UDL. If you would prefer to donate money, 25c

buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms; $5.00 buys pie & chips,

, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9;

$10.00 will pay for a packet of Longbeach extra milds or Horizon 30's

and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

PLEASE do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of posh housing is

unfair on the population of the neighbouring areas.
