Geoscience Australia has been researching, mapping and documenting earthquakes in Australia and associated regions since 1840. This website allows users to locate earthquakes with a reading greater than two on the Richter Scale. Information from earthquakes ranging from magnitudes of two to six in Australia and associated regions is available on this site. Earthquakes from the past 7, 14, and 30 days are displayed alongside historical earthquakes greater than magnitude 6.
