I guess that's to handle the fault line that runs under the Hill and Lake
Burley Griffin.


I've never heard any more about that claim, a few years ago, that a tsunami
hit Sydney about a hundred years before the First Fleet arrived.  They
claimed at the time that it threw very large boulders up on top of coastal
cliffs -- so if it was that size, it would have taken out most of Sydney at
a guess.

The story appears to have just disappeared, or been ignored.

I wonder whether the claim is generally accepted in the scientific
community, or whether it was considered fallacious/ridiculous.
