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