A shallow magnitude 2.9 earthquake was reported early morning near Boorowa, Hilltops, New South Wales, Australia.
According to Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), the quake hit on Monday, April 28th, 2025, at 2:44 am local time at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.9 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Boorowa (pop. 1,600) located 3 miles from the epicenter. In Young (pop. 10,200, 24 miles away), Yass (pop. 6,500, 29 miles away), Cootamundra (pop. 6,600, 39 miles away), Murrumbateman (pop. 3,200, 41 miles away), and Cowra (pop. 10,000, 43 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
