Melbourne was shaken Sunday by a rare and shallow earthquake – the largest earthquake to hit the Australian city in over a century – swaying buildings but ultimately causing very little damage.

Sunbury is jus 36 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. It is the largest earthquake within 40km of the capital city in more than 120 years, according to a tweet from seismologist Adam Pascale.

Adam Pascale, chief scientist at the Victoria-based Seismology Research Centre, said the earthquake was the largest within 40 kilometers of Melbourne since a magnitude 4.5 quake hit in 1902.

Melbourne residents reported buildings shaking on Sunday evening about 11:41pm. Although Sunbury is 40 kilometres north-west of the city, the earthquake's impact was felt in Melbourne's CBD.
