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.

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 2

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 · 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 2

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 1

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.

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 ☺️

041 4

Seismology Research Centre @earthquakes.au · 13/07/2026

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 2

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 2

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.

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

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

One of the quietest periods for a while - only 19 earthquakes detected in southeast Australia last week. Meanwhile in the west, our friends at GSWA are installing rapid deployment kits to capture yet another swarm in the southwest, this time near Gnowangerup. Tiny pops are visible every few minutes!

Did you know that last year there was only one magnitude 3.0 quake in Victoria, and it was the state's largest for 2025? A magnitude 3.1 earthquake near Dargo in early Feb 2026 is the largest in the state this year, with the region's hills shaken hours later by an M2.8 about 100km to the southeast.
