We have discovered two fast radio bursts (FRBs) in short succession as part of the ongoing search programme at the Molonglo Observatory Radio Telescope. They are FRB181016 and FRB181017, respectively. We summarise their detection UTCs, their right-ascensions, their declinations (J2000) and the dispersion measures (DMs) that maximise the signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) in the table below.

FRB	UTC	RA (hh:mm:ss)	Dec (dd:mm:ss)	DM (pc cm-3)	S/N
181016	2018-10-16-04:16:56.3	15:46:20.5	-25:24:32	1984	20
181017	2018-10-17-10:24:37.4	22:05:55	-08:50:30	240	66

FRB181017 is particularly interesting, as it was detected with high S/N. More details can be found in Astronomer’s Telegram 12124.
