Pt Pirie and several mid-north towns rocked by earthquake

If you felt your knees getting wobbly this afternoon, don’t worry – so did everyone else.

Several mid-north towns were rocked by a small magnitude earthquake on Monday afternoon.

The 3.6 magnitude quake began near Pt Pirie just after 4.30pm, but could be felt up to 60km away according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Other areas that may have experienced shaking include Jamestown, Pt Broughton and Peterborough.

South Australia sits on several geological fault lines and in April, Jamestown registered a 4.2 magnitude quake that could be felt more than 50km away.
