A SHUDDER has run through an area south of Muswellbrook after a federal science bureau recorded an earthquake overnight.
Geoscience Australia recorded the quake shortly before 1am on Tuesday.
Mapping from that agency pinpoints the quake as emanating from a point near the Mt Arthur coal mine, to the south of Muswellbrook.
The magnitude 3.0 earthquake was recorded at a depth of three kilometres.
By 8am on Tuesday Geoscience Australia said 46 people had felt the tremor.
In May last year a 3.9-magnitude earthquake was recorded near Muswellbrook, with another west of Lake Liddell in February 2020.
