Two separate earthquakes rattled parts of New South Wales within hours overnight, leaving communities across the state shaken.
The first quake, a magnitude 3.8 tremor, struck the Orana region just before 11pm on Monday.
It was at a depth of 10 kilometres beneath the surface and was powerful enough to be picked up by monitoring stations as far away as Victoria.
Hours later, at 2.22am Tuesday, another quake measuring magnitude 3.7 was recorded near Muswellbrook in the Upper Hunter.
Unlike the deeper Orana tremor, this one was much closer to the surface, striking at a depth of only 3 kilometres.
More to follow.
