An earthquake of magnitude 2.8 occurred only 26 minutes ago 40 miles northwest of Merredin, Western Australia, Australia, Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 1.2 miles beneath the epicenter near Merredin, Western Australia, Australia, in the afternoon on Wednesday, August 6th, 2025, at 5:21 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.8 as well.

Weak shaking might have been felt in South Yelbeni (pop. 29) located 2 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Nembudding (pop. 11) located 8 miles from the epicenter, South Trayning (pop. 42) 10 miles away, and Korrelocking (pop. 50) 11 miles away.
