Magnitude 3.1 earthquake strikes near Kevington, Mansfield, Victoria, Australia

An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 occurred early morning on Wednesday, June 25th, 2025, at 5:22 am local time near Kevington, Mansfield, Victoria, Australia, as reported by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 0.4 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.1 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Kevington (pop. 50) located 15 miles from the epicenter. In Mount Buller (pop. 2,600, 25 miles away), Mansfield (pop. 4,800, 34 miles away), and Moe (pop. 8,600, 47 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
