Melbourne doesn't always get the earthquakes, Melbourne is mentioned because the epicentres are generally in more unknown towns such as "Korumburra." But Victoria gets Earthquakes mainly because of the stresses in the Australian Plate that is caused by this plate moving northwards. Even though Victoria is not near a plate boundary, it still has relatively inactive fault lines within the plate, which are lines of weakness and so earthquakes are more prone along these small faults.

Which earthquake is the most destructive and why?
Tsunamis and earthquakes generally go together, but in general, the tsunami can be more destructive than the earthquake that causes it. A really big earthquake rattles the ground, and can cause buildings and bridges to collapse, which can be pretty bad, but in a limited area. But if the earthquake causes a major undersea landslide, the movement of the mud on the sea floor can cause a tsunami, and a tsunami wave can cause rising water on every coastline around the ocean. The 2004 9.1 earthquake in Indonesia destroyed some buildings and killed a few dozen people on northern Sumatra. The resulting tsunami killed a half-MILLION people on Sumatra, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, and places around the Indian Ocean. The 2012 9.3 earthquake off Honshu, Japan didn't kill anybody - but as many as 20,000 people were killed by the tsunami.
