Default Adelaideans: Anyone hear an explosion last night about 3:30 am? (Northern Suburbs)

Hi all

Last night a friend of mine in Brahma Lodge heard a rather large explosion, around 3:30 am. I live a few k's down the road in Parafield Gardens & even I heard it! Woke us up.

Just wondering if anyone else from the area heard it?

Cheers,
Luke.

An explosion out there isnt overly supprising. Probably some government funded ploy of some sort
