Did you know that across the Tasman, in New Zealand, some kitchens have roller cupboard doors instead of, you know, normal cupboard doors?
It’s because of the earthquakes. Sometimes they’re so bad that your crockery can shake out of your cupboards and smash, and the roller ones prevent this.
Lucky for us, earthquakes don’t really happen in Australia, so it’s not something we need to worry about. Right?
Well… it’s time you met seismologist Dr Trevor Allen.
