Volcanic eruptions don't go by the Richter scale.. perhaps you are thinking of the VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) Scale? If so, the VEI of Mt. Lamington was a level 5.
richter scale
After the eruption it cost a estimate of $1.5 million to repair all damage and restore Popondetta to its original state.
The Richter scale measures earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. Eruptions are rated on the Volcanic Explosive Index. On this scale, the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was a VEI 6.

Lamington National Park is in Queensland, Australia.
It did not have a Richter scale rating. The Richter scale is used to rate earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions are rated on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was a VEI 6, described as a colossal eruption.

57 people were listed as being killed as a direct result of the eruption of Mt St Helens, 18 May, 1980. This was the worst eruption of a volcano in the USA. It was measured as only 5.1 on the Richter scale. The tsunami wave in Japan in 2011 was produced by a 9.0 Richter scale reading. It left almost 16,000 people dead.
