A magnitude 5.5 earthquake has struck in southern Western Australia.
The quake, recorded at 5.40pm (WST) on Friday, struck 16km underground near Norseman in the state's Goldfields region, according to Geoscience Australia.
No damage was reported and there was no threat of a tsunami, Geoscience said.
Norseman service station attendant Jefta Verdam said he heard a loud noise and felt the floor move.
"It felt like there was a train passing by, then we realised it was an earthquake," he told AAP.
"It was pretty heavy. I'm from The Netherlands and we don't have these kinds of things."
Mr Verdam's colleague Renee Steffan said the tremors lasted several minutes and caused the store lights to swing around.
She said there had been a number of earthquakes in recent weeks but this was the worst.
"It was pretty intense, the ground just felt like it was going to open up," she said.
Four quakes hit near Norseman in May, including a magnitude 5.2 tremor.
