A 3.2 magnitude earthquake hit NSW’s central west overnight, with the epicentre recorded north of Canberra between Boorowra and Crookwell.
The earthquake struck at around 1.45am early Friday morning at a depth of one kilometre, according to Geoscience Australia.
Eight people reported feeling the event, with some saying the sound resembled thunder.
Resident, Steve Oxley, told the ABC the event continued for 10 to 12 seconds.
“I didn’t realise it was an earthquake, but there was a really long (sound of) thunder and banging,” he said.
“I thought it was a storm until I heard this morning.”
