- A magnitude 3.3 earthquake struck Victoria
A magnitude 3.3 earthquake has struck regional Victoria.
The earthquake was recorded by Geoscience Australia at 12.15pm on Tuesday, about 45km south of Traralgon in the Latrobe Valley, regional Victoria.
The shock occurred at a ‘very shallow depth’, about 1 km below the surface, and could be felt about 35 km away from the epicenter.
It is believed that the earthquake was not strong enough to cause significant damage in areas near the epicenter.
Residents of nearby towns such as Foster, Mirboo North, Leongatha, Churchill and Morwell may have experienced a ‘light tremor’.
However, it was too weak to be felt in major cities further away from the epicenter, such as Traralgon and Warragul.
