#Introduction  The University of Melbourne is currenty monitoring seismicity in Victoria's South Gippsland region. The equipment, including surface and borehole stations, was acquired through the AGOS Subsurface observatory. There are currently 8 surface seismic stations operating in Gippsland, along with 3 borehole instruments. instruments (Figure 1).  The AuScope Seismometer in Schools (AuSIS) program has a station running in the town of Sale. #Study The first surface instruments were installed in 2012, in the month prior  to date the M 5.4 Moe earthquake (2012-06-19:10:56). In 2012 extra stations built near Fish Creek, Willow Grove, Loch.  The first surface instruments were installed in 2012, in the month prior to the M 5.4 Moe earthquake (2012-06-19:10:56). Since then, the seismic array has grown, with extra stations built near Fish Creek, Willow Grove, Loch, expanding the effective size of the network to ... surface instruments.  Add figure showing deployment to date inc. surface seismometers. In October 2014, 3 borehole instruments were deployed along the Strzelecki hills, at depths of ~130 m. These instruments increase the spatial resolution of the Gipplsand array, and offer a chance to monitor microseismiciy that might would  otherwise go undetected. undetected and/or poorly resolved. in this note we highlight some of the features resolved by having the subsurface capability.
