Adelaide feels regular earthquakes and sits on several faults including the Para Fault, running from Gawler, under the northern suburbs and under the CBD, and the Eden-Burnside Fault which runs under the southern and eastern suburbs.

The latest tremor comes just over a week after a 4.8 magnitude earthquake rocked the Flinders Region.

That quake, on March 23, was first reported in Oodla Wirra and hit a depth of 7km and was reportedly felt in Adelaide.
