Small magnitude 3.6 quake hits 30 miles northwest of William Creek, South Australia, Australia early morning

A shallow magnitude 3.6 earthquake was reported early morning near William Creek, South Australia, Australia.
According to Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), the quake hit on Wednesday, March 11th, 2026, at 2:34 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. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include William Creek (pop. 31) located 30 miles from the epicenter.
