Track the activity in Indonesia.
ARC Professorial Fellow, Mike Sandiford, from the University of Melbourne’s School of Earth Sciences says the research shows that as much as 10 per cent of the huge amounts of energy being created at plate connection points at Sumatra and Java are being transferred back into the Australian plate, causing major stresses.
“This is enough stress to contribute to mild earthquake activity in the central regions of the plate, such as in the Australian continent or central Indian Ocean, and provides us with clues as to why our plate has been slowly breaking up,” he says.
“The Indian Ocean quakes are, in effect, leading to the active rupture of the Indo-Australian plate into separate Indian and Australian plates. This new research provides us with important information about the stresses that are driving this drawn out tectonic plate divorce.”

UPDATE: Problem solved. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has been told that if he sacrifices 1000 sheep, he can prevent the impending disaster.

I think it's the Maya calendar which says the end of this era will come on December 21st 2012, which is a real bummer for my brother since that's his birthday.
