University of Queensland Seismology Station

Bryan, a donor presented a Milne-Shaw Seismograph to the University to aid their continuing research.

[5] An official station was set up in the basement of a building at the University of Queensland, then in George Street, Brisbane.

[8] After the University moved to it new location in St Lucia, Brisbane in 1951, the existing seismographs, and in time new models, were re-housed in the basement levels of the new Richards Building,[9] but the near constant construction of new buildings at St Lucia, played havoc with the readings.

In 1970, the Queensland government Department of Mines and Energy became involved with the monitoring of seismic activity.
