As emergency services began fielding calls, it became clear this wasn’t an isolated incident. Hundreds of people across the region logged their experience online, describing what they heard, saw, and felt. From children in classrooms to workers in offices, no one expected the sudden disruption to their day.
Only later did experts confirm the source: a 3.5 magnitude earthquake had struck near the town of Appin in New South Wales, just 70km southwest of Sydney. Recorded at a shallow depth of only 2km, the quake triggered aftershocks as far as Menangle. Geoscience Australia reported nearly 500 firsthand accounts within the first hour.
