5.1-magnitude earthquake strikes Broome
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake has been detected off the coast of Broome in the far northwest of Australia.
Key points: A 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Broome, there are no reports of damage or injuries, the largest since the 6.6-magnitude earthquake in 2019.
The earthquake was detected just before 3:00 pm 200 km from the beach, west of the popular tourist city, at a depth of 10 km.
Some residents said they felt the earthquake for several seconds, but there were no reports of major damage or injuries.
There is no threat of a tsunami.
2 years since the last major earthquake
It’s been nearly two years since the city’s last major earthquake, when a 6.6-magnitude earthquake damaged shops, restaurants, and small businesses.
Geoscience Australia’s chief seismologist Phil Cummins said today’s earthquake hit roughly the same location.
“Since the 6.6-magnitude earthquake two years ago, we’ve had a long and protracted series of aftershocks,” he said.
“Whether or not this aftershock occurred two years ago is an interesting question to consider.
“If his strength was three, I would say it was just a big aftershock, but his strength five is too big.”
While there were mixed reports from Broome residents – some didn’t feel any grumbling – he said Geoscience Australia had received reports as far away as Port Hedland.
The quake did not bother goers of local restaurants and bars. (

) “I knew right away”
Julie Russell, the owner of the gift shop, was working in her office when she felt the vibrations.
“I was working out here and I could feel this vibration coming from under me,” she said.
“I put my hand on my desk and then I sit on the chair and I felt this movement and because I felt like I had an impact on my desk I knew right away it was an earthquake.
“Then I went out and spoke to my husband and he said yes, the back wall of the kitchen utensils started shaking completely.”
The owner of Monsoonal Blues was relieved to find minimal damage.
“(The last time) we lost over $1,000 in shares…if anything stronger I think we’ll end up hurting again,” she said.
But many tourists were largely unfazed, and were reluctant to let the brief excitement disrupt their vacation.
“We were eating our own ice cream and felt a little shaken,” one witness said.
“I don’t think it will be that much compared to what it was two years ago.”
