Small 3.2 quake hits near Warracknabeal, Yarriambiack, Victoria, Australia

An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 occurred early morning on Wednesday, December 10th, 2025, at 2:06 am local time near Warracknabeal, Yarriambiack, Victoria, Australia, as reported by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 6.2 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 3.2 as well.
