On April 23, 2025, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.1 on the Richter scale struck Australia. The tremors were recorded at 2:55 AM local time near the town of Singleton, located in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, approximately 200 km north of Sydney. The quake's depth was about 10 kilometers. Seismologists from Geoscience Australia initially estimated the magnitude at 5.1, but later revised it to 4.6. The shaking was felt not only near the epicenter but also in Sydney, where many residents reported being awakened by the vibrations. As of 4:00 AM, more than 2,600 people reported feeling the quake. Preliminary reports indicate that there were no casualties or significant damage. The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre confirmed that there was no tsunami threat associated with this earthquake. This was one of the most notable seismic events in the region in recent times and served as a reminder of the potential for earthquake activity even in relatively stable parts of Australia.
