The earthquake, measuring 6.8 on the Richter Scale, shattered buildings and buckled railway lines. It left a deep gash on the ground about 4 km west of the town on the Highway. It can still be seen and is signposted 'Earthquake Fault Line’. Photographs of the earthquake are on display in the Cunderdin Museum.
