#Introduction  The As part of the Australian Geophysical Observing System (AGOS) the  University of Melbourne has established a seismic monitoring network in Victoria's South Gippsland region. The equipment, including surface and borehole stations, was acquired through the Australian Geophysical Observing System (AGOS) Subsurface observatory. To date (15/2/2015)there are currently 8 surface seismic stations operating across South Gippsland, along with 3 borehole instruments (Figure 1). The AuScope Seismometer region,  in Schools (AuSIS) program has a station running order to better understand natural earthquake occurrence  in the town one  of Sale. Australia's most seismically active regions.  The first deployment of ??x?? surface instruments occurred in 2012, in the month prior to To  the M 5.4 Moe earthquake (2012-06-19:10:56). Following end of 2014,  the main shock three additional network comprised ??  surface seismic  stations (Fish Creek, Willow Grove, Loch) were deployed in 2012. and 3 borehole instruments (Figure 1).  In 2014, Somers was deployed. addition, the AuScope Seismometer in Schools (AuSIS) program has a stations at Sale and Rosebud.  The first deployment of ??x?? surface instruments occurred in the month prior to the M 5.4 Moe earthquake (2012-06-19:10:56). Following the main shock three additional surface stations (Fish Creek, Willow Grove, Loch) were deployed in 2012. In 2014, Somers was deployed.  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 Gippsland  array, and offer a chance to monitor microseismiciy microseismicity  that would otherwise go undetected and/or poorly resolved. in this note we highlight some of the features resolved by having the subsurface capability.
