Let me preface this by saying "1 1/2 Weeks before the 'Event' below I experienced a sense of what I can only describe as ((Wobblyness)) whilst watching the cricket on TV.
It was a really weird feeling of instability & light-headiness, at the time I felt that the players I was watching on the TV looked unstable as well...
There was a serial-wave of energy circulating my entire being at the time...
I also had weird sensations in my stomach too...
So much so, that day I asked my neighbors if they felt the instability as well...
It was only today I ((Connected-the-Dots)) as to what I was feeling at the time when I read a follow-up story on Australia's potential earthquake problems in the foreseeable future. (see 2nd article below)
Next time, I'll be paying closer attention to what my gut was telling me in the future and if it comes back again. I'll post my Earthquake prediction ahead of time...
By the way, I live right on the Sunshine Coast not far away from where the earthquake was and slept through the whole thing...
Here's another Prediction I made at the start of the year...

Earthquake shakes south east Queensland
Date February 16, 2015
'The bed shook': Queensland earthquake
Bundaberg residents report "the whole house" shook after an earthquake hits early Monday morning.
Queensland has been rocked by its third largest earthquake since records began.
The magnitude 5.2 earthquake hit 25 kilometres from Eidsvold at 1.57am on Monday, prompting tremors that were felt as far away as Brisbane in the south and Rockhampton in the north.
Geosciences Australia seismologist Andrea Thom said it was just the third earthquake stronger than magnitude 5 recorded in Queensland since records began.

The last was in 1935, about 45 kilometres south of the epicentre of Monday morning's quake, with a magnitude of 5.5.
Prior to that, the most recent earthquake stronger than magnitude 5 was in 1883.
Ms Thom said Geosciences Australia had already received 800 reports of people having felt the tremors, though no significant damage had been recorded due to the remoteness of the epicentre.

Nick Wiltgen, of the Weather Channel, was among the first to tweet about the quake.
"It's a fairly large earthquake for Australian conditions," she said.
"We have had more than 800 felt reports, mostly people reporting more a sustained feeling of vibration, loose objects falling over and loud noises, so it's quite noticeable.
"We have also heard that people in the hospital in Toowoomba were woken by it and in Bundaberg there were reports of power outages."
Posts on Twitter suggest those in the Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast areas bore the brunt of the tremor, many reporting they were woken as their houses shook.
Sunshine Coast hinterland resident Jeff Addison said he and his wife were both woken by the tremors.
"We were both asleep and all of a sudden it sounded like a large animal had landed on the deck and we both sat bolt upright," he said.
"My wife said it felt like a vaccum cleaner or a whoosh of the house, I more felt the vibration.
"For my wife to sit bolt upright is pretty amazing, she normally sleeps through. I used to have to wake her to feed the kids when they were babies."
Ms Thom said aftershocks were expected to be felt throughout the region in coming days.
An aftershock with magnitude 2.9 has already hit the same site of Monday morning's earthquake, a bit less than an hour later.
"There have been dozens of aftershocks, with an event of this magnitude, it is normal to experience a number of aftershocks," she said.
"We can't predict where they will hit, but it is to be expected these aftershocks will be experienced in the next few days and they will taper out."
Ms Thom said the quake was caused by natural earth movements taking place.
She said the most recent Queensland earthquake to come in size to Monday night's tremor arrived in 2004, with a magnitude of 4.4.
She said of the three to four hundred earthquakes recorded in Australia each year, only one or two were over a magnitude 5.
"Queensland is seismically active, though the more active areas are in the south west and Flinders Ranges," Ms Thom said.
"If this [had hit] in a city, we would definitely expect more in terms of power outages and building damage."
She said Monday morning's earthquake was almost as strong as that which devastated Newcastle in 1989, which had a magnitude of 5.6.
That event claimed the lives of 13 people, injured more than 160 and left a damage bill of approximately $4 billion.

Australia sits on the ((most active tectonic plate on earth)): expert
16th Feb 2015
http://prod.static9.net.au/~/media/images/2013/1602_quake_sp.ashx?w=718
Today's quake in Eidsvold likely just the first big shock ahead of several more smaller tremors, said senior seismologist Gary Gibson.
The common belief that Australia is relatively safe from the impacts of seismic activity because it sits in the middle of a tectonic plate is a misnomer, according to one of Australia's leading seismologists.
Senior seismologist at Environmental Systems and Services Gary Gibson told ninemsn that while the Australian landmass is not near any fault lines, it sits on "the world's most active plate".
Nine out of 10 earthquakes occur along plate boundaries but the rest will occur within tectonic plates, as Queenslanders living between Brisbane and Rockhampton found out in the early hours of this morning.
"It's because we have a very active northern boundary and a very active southern boundary, and the boundaries are moving quite fast," he said.
Speaking from a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Dr Gibson said the 5.2 quake which struck 25km kilometres from Eidsvold just before 2am and sent tremors as far off as Brisbane was probably just a big bang that would be followed by a few aftershocks.
"They come in clusters and it's very hard to know when they will start to come in clusters," he said.
"Like this one the morning, you get a big one at the start, and then a few aftershocks," said the principal research fellow at the University of Melbourne.
However, it impossible to tell when the biggest bang will come, Dr Gibson said.
Despite the reach of today's quake, the magnitude 5.2 was by no means the biggest to hit the state.
In 1918, Gayndah, a small town about 50km away from Eidsvold, was hit by a 6.0 quake and then a 5.7 quakes on the same day, but Queensland is generally at a low risk compared to Victoria's Gippsland region and South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges and Flinders Ranges.
Australia is hit with around 2000 tremors and quakes every year, yet none have done as much damage as the 1989 Newcastle earthquake which caused upwards of $2billion in damage.
In an interview in 2013 Adjunct Professor Kevin McCue from the Australian Seismological Centre warned that Australian cities were at risk from of intraplate activity — pointing to the 6.3 Christchurch 2011 quake that he said could be described as an intraplate quake.
"Newcastle was only a 5.6 earthquake, and we have one of those every two or three years," Dr McCue told The Fifth Estate.
"An earthquake the size that hit Christchurch happens approximately every 10 years.
"Australia is a big country and the probability of an earthquake hitting a built up area is quite small, however the probability of Christchurch getting hit was also small," he said, suggesting there was "no obvious reason why Sydney couldn't be directly hit".
Recent studies have also found correlations between increased earthquakes and human activities like mining and hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking", in coal seam gas extraction, but these tend to be lower in magnitude.
A paper published by the University of Oklahoma found that up until 2000 there was an average of 21 earthquakes in the central US each year which steadily increased to 134 in 2011 &madsh; with one hitting 5.7 — drawing a link between increased CSG fracking and the increased number of quakes.
"Certainly fracking has an impact; there is no doubt in my mind," Dr Gibson said, but he did not suggest that this morning's earthquake resulted from this.
"Lots of little earthquakes are triggered by human activity, such as reservoir activity and things like pumping water into the ground," he added, specifying that while human activity can lead to quakes humans are more than likely just pulling a trigger of a gun that was set to go off millions of years ago.
