A magnitude 2.9 earthquake near Tennant Creek, Barkly, Northern Territory, Australia, was reported only 28 minutes ago by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Australia. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles beneath the epicenter early morning on Saturday, September 6th, 2025, at 5:53 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.9 as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 2.9.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Tennant Creek (pop. 3,200, 35 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
