A 4.7 magnitude earthquake has rocked the Muswellbrook region of New South Wales (NSW), in the Upper Hunter Valley region about 250 kilometres north of Sydney.
Power outages have struck parts of the local area, while the local shire said parts of the region may be without water.
A Geoscience Australia report confirmed the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10-kilometre underground.
It initially reported the earthquake as 5 on the Richter scale, but this was later downgraded to 4.7.
Geoscience Australia also reported 2,690 people had called in saying they felt tremors.
The rattles were felt not just in the Hunter region, but also in the outer Sydney suburbs of Marsden Park and the Northern Beaches....
