An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 occurred only 15 minutes ago 20 miles southwest of Hawkwood, Queensland, Australia, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles beneath the epicenter near Hawkwood, North Burnett, Queensland, Australia, early morning on Saturday, May 10th, 2025, at 3:39 am 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.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Hawkwood (pop. 18, 20 miles away), and Wandoan (pop. 1,100, 39 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
