Just 30 earthquakes in the region last week. The largest was a magnitude 2.6 near Douglas Park NSW that was reportedly felt in the local area. Typically earthquakes below magnitude 4 in Australia aren't damaging, but depth of event, surface soil conditions, and structure type are factors to consider

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 09/09/2026

A magnitude 2.7 earthquake just occurred near Douglas Park NSW a few minutes ago. Report it to Geoscience Australia if you felt it.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 07/09/2026

This week it was Victoria's turn for an orange dot: a magnitude 3.5 earthquake north of Casterton on Saturday at 10:29pm, which was felt locally. Our new app is in review and will be available for download on Apple & Android devices soon, enabling you to report earthquakes directly from your phone.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 31/08/2026

A shallow magnitude 3.5 earthquake occurred on Friday the 28th of August at 1:07pm, located about 12km southwest of Campbelltown in NSW. It was the largest of 36 earthquakes detected last week. You'll soon be able to explore events in more detail with an app for your phone or tablet - stay tuned!

Here's a map of the last week of earthquakes up to midnight Sunday UTC time (10am AEST today). Based on data from 38 stations, we've recalculated this morning's earthquake near Broadford as a magnitude 3.0. Despite the 1:14am origin time, almost 300 people reported feeling it, up to 80km away.

021

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 23/08/2026

This small magnitude 2.6 earthquake occurred at 1:14am on Monday 24 August. The epicentre was about 10km south of Broadford VIC, and it has been reportedly felt in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 22/08/2026

The SRC are so proud to be involved in this project. Great to see drone footage and other imagery from our very own @seislologist.bsky.social featured throughout this video. For more on our contribution to WA Array, check out our article on src.com.au

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 17/08/2026

The SRC detected 42 earthquakes last week, 7 of which were over magnitude 2. The largest was a magnitude 2.9 northeast of Gladstone, SA. A lot of folks ask us how they can find out more about individual events on our maps. We will soon be releasing an app to allow you to do just that. Stay tuned!

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 10/08/2026

The two largest earthquakes last week were in Victoria: a magnitude 2.3 earthquake occurred near Rushworth at 12:54pm on the 4th of August, at a depth of 11km; and a magnitude 2.6 earthquake occurred the following day at 9:01am, located near Yallourn, at a depth of 18km.

021

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 03/08/2026

All earthquakes last week were below magnitude 2, which we expect were all too small to be felt, particularly as their average depths were 9km, ranging from near-surface to 20km deep. Three earthquakes occurred near Korumburra VIC, an area that has hosted several magnitude 4+ events in recent years.

011

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 28/07/2026

The largest earthquake in the region last week was a magnitude 3.0 north of Dubbo, NSW. It struck at 5:31am on 22 July. The magnitude 1.9 near Sydney was in the Kamay Botany Bay National Park, near Cronulla at 2:13pm on 21 July.

042

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 20/07/2026

Just 28 earthquakes detected last week in our monitoring area. Yes, EARTHQUAKES. No magnitude-shaming here! People refer to small earthquakes as "tremors", a medical term related to involuntary muscle movement. We do too sometimes, but you can't deny they're all earthquakes, no matter how small ☺️

Despite the 3:30am start, I really enjoyed answering questions from callers on the @news.abc.net.au #Overnights program last Friday. Here's a couple of snippets, but you can find the full program at the link below. The hour-long earthquake segment starts at 1:33:14. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

32 earthquakes detected in a week is close to the average for our map area. Note that a magnitude 2.1 is hiding under that 1.8 near Muswellbrook NSW. We're often questioned about these earthquakes as they don't appear on GA's online map. GA only publish small events if they are likely to be felt.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 06/07/2026

Yesterday's MLv4.0 earthquake, SW of Lavers Hill in Victoria's Otway Ranges, occurred at a depth of 20km, which may explain why it wasn't as widely felt as an earthquake of this magnitude would normally be. This earthquake was about 25x larger than the next biggest, a 2.6 in SA's Flinders Ranges.

021

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 05/07/2026

A magnitude 4 earthquake has occurred off the Cape Otway coast in Victoria about 5 minutes ago. Report it to Geoscience Australia if you felt it.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 29/06/2026

Another 39 earthquakes added to the catalogue. The largest last week was a magnitude 2.2 off Port Campbell in Victoria, followed only an hour later by an unrelated magnitude 2.1 that occurred just south of Woodford in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney NSW.

022

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 22/06/2026

Four M3+ earthquakes in a single week for our monitoring area is unusual, but the time and distance between them means they are unlikely to be related. The largest was a magnitude 3.5 at Cadia NSW. The other 3.0 in NSW was about 50km northeast of Dubbo, with a 3.0 and 3.2 in SA's Flinders Ranges.

021

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 18/06/2026

Here’s a magnitude 3.3 earthquake from 5:43am this morning near Cadia NSW

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 15/06/2026

Of the 63 earthquakes that occurred in southeast Australia over the last fortnight, eight were over magnitude 2. The largest two were both magnitude 2.8, one on June 6th at 6:26am off the NSW south coast, and the other on the 14th at 12:51pm under Blowering Reservoir in southern NSW.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 12/06/2026

It doesn't help at all, but we know exactly when this happened to one of our seismograph stations.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 25/05/2026

Detecting 36 earthquakes in a week is pretty close to average for our monitoring region in southeast Australia. Three earthquakes just crept into the magnitude 2 range: one north of Balranald NSW, one east of Burra SA, and another west of Arkaroola SA.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 20/05/2026

Another magnitude 3.5 earthquake has occurred near Mount Perry in Queensland, at a few minutes past 4am. Comment if you felt it.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 18/05/2026

Here's the last 2 weeks of earthquake activity covered by our monitoring network in Australia's southeast. The largest earthquake was a magnitude 3.4 near Dumbalk in Victoria, and the eight magnitude 2.0-2.9 spread across the states contributed to a total of 83 earthquakes for the fortnight.

020

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 17/05/2026

A magnitude 3.5 earthquake occurred near Mt Perry in Queensland at 7:51am this morning. The epicentre was about 90km west of Bundaberg.

011

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 16/05/2026

There was a little magnitude 1.8 south of Wodonga on the VIC-NSW border at 6:34pm tonight. Something this small is not usually noteworthy, but we had a report that the it was enough to bring entire streets of people out of their homes for what they thought were explosions.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 09/05/2026

At 6:12pm tonight there was a magnitude 3.4 earthquake near Foster in Gippsland, Victoria. Comment if you felt it.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 04/05/2026

A magnitude 3.6 earthquake occurred near Hawker in South Australia last week and was the largest of 27 earthquakes detected. Each state hosted at least one magnitude 2 event: a 2.8 near Dumbalk VIC, a 2.8 off Kiama NSW, and a 2.2 near Rosebery TAS. The 2.0 near Adelaide was east of Willunga SA.

Another 33 earthquakes were added to the catalogue last week. The little cluster in Tasmania was between Lake Pedder and Lake Gordon. The biggest event for the week was only magnitude 2.4, located about 140km north of Broken Hill in NSW.

011

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 20/04/2026

The largest earthquake last week was a magnitude 4.6 on the 14th of April, located at Cadia in NSW. It was felt across the state to distances of over 300km. It's the largest earthquake ever recorded in the area, the next largest being a magnitude 4.2 in 2017, coincidentally also on 14 April (AEST)

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 14/04/2026

This map shows 2 weeks of earthquake activity in southeast Australia from 30 March to 12 April. The two largest of these 44 quakes were off Victoria's southeast coast - a magnitude 2.7 off Seaspray, and a 2.4 off Cape Patterson. In NSW both Mt Thorley and Broken Hill experienced magnitude 2.1 events

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, they should have been using a network of seismographs. This morning’s magnitude 5.5 in central Australia was south of Yulara on the NT-SA border.

The magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Boorowa NSW last week was the largest earthquake in our monitoring area since a magnitude 4.4 quake in southwest Tasmania six months ago. Only two small aftershocks were detected with 8 hours of the main shock. Geoscience Australia received over 7000 "felt" reports.

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 11/03/2026

Preliminary earthquake details - magnitude 4.2 near Boorowa in southern NSW, about 110km north of Canberra

Definitely more than 70, but not all can be felt. GSWA field staff were easily feeling magnitude 2+ events while installing the seismographs. Nice to see the 24-hour "drum" image from the @earthquakes.au Seismosphere system featured. Data visualisation at its best! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
