Second earthquake in a week shakes NSW

ABC News : 20 Apr 2017

New South Wales has been hit by a second earthquake in a week, with a tremor rumbling the town of Forster on the mid-north coast.

Residents took to social media to describe what they felt after the magnitude 3.3 quake struck 26 kilometres under the sea just before 7:00pm last night.

Early on Good Friday, a magnitude 4.3 earthquake caused a gold mine to be evacuated near Orange in the state's central west.

Geoscience Australia seismologist Spiro Spiliopoulos said there was the possibility of more tremors in Forster.
