Melbourne residents reported that buildings were shaking around 11:41pm on Sunday night due to the earthquake that struck Sunbury, 40 kilometres northwest of the city.
The impact of the quake was felt in the CBD of Melbourne, as it had a focal depth of just three kilometres.
The tremor was also felt as far north as Bendigo and as far south as Hobart, Tasmania, and resulted in minor damage to roads and homes in Victoria.
