Let’s be honest. We really needed something else to talk about.
2021 is truly the gift that just keeps on giving. In news nobody expected to hear, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake was recorded in Victoria and tremors were felt across NSW. No serious damage has so far been reported in Sydney but in true Aussie style people were on fire with their jokes. Here are some of the best earthquake memes that had us cackling.

In many ways, I feel that the #earthquake could have been avoided if NSW had locked down three (3) days earlier in June 2021.

Sydney Earthquakes are only allowed within 5km of your home, with only two aftershocks permitted. No earthquakes may continue past 10pm on a weeknight, unless situated at the casino.
