Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) reported a magnitude 3.0 quake in Australia near Tennant Creek, Barkly, Northern Territory, only 14 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Saturday, February 28th, 2026, at 4:07 am local time at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles. 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 3.0 as well.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, 22 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Feb 28, 2026 04:37 am (GMT +9:30) local time (27 Feb 2026 19:07 GMT)Magnitude: 3.0Depth: 10.00 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 19.9°S / 133.99°E (Barkly, Northern Territory, Australia)Primary data source: GeoAu
