Australia offers quake aid: No Aussie casualties

Australia has pledged $1m to the Indonesia Red Cross and Red Crescent Society charities. The money is to help the immediate victims of today’s earthquake in Central Java.

As yet there are no reported Australian casualties, though 83 Australians were registered in Yogyakarta.

Riding around Bali, the preferred building material seems to be ugly grey cement blocks and cement beams. Uncontrolled building on a fault line is a time bomb, now we’re paying the price.

• Death toll rises to 3,700 in Java quake
• Yogyakarta hit with massive earthquake
• Moderate Earthquake in Eastern Indonesia
• Indonesia to Spend Rp 9t to Rebuild Quake Area
• Dead toll 4,900 in Java quake
