This follows a 5.3 magnitude quake which hit south of Trafalgar last month.
That quake was initially reported as being south of Moe, but was later revised to be positioned south of Trafalgar.
The location of tonight’s quake is reported to be closer to Moe than last month’s.
The green marker shows the location of tonight’s earthquake. The yellow shows the location originally given for last month’s earthquake, while the blue marker is the actual location of last month’s quake.
