Parts of Canberra shuddered overnight, after a 2.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Canberra.
The earthquake was felt just after 1.30am on Monday, with the epicentre just over the NSW border near Sutton, just kilometres from homes in Gungahlin.
Information from Geoscience Australia showed the earthquake happened at a depth of 10 kilometres.
More than 90 people made reports to Geoscience Australia about the earthquake, mostly coming from Gungahlin and over the border in Sutton.
The earthquake was first recorded as a 1.7 magnitude tremor hitting near Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, before being revised a short time later by Geoscience Australia to a magnitude 2.0 near Sutton.
Senior duty seismologist at Geoscience Australia, Dr Tanja Pejic, said many residents reported feeling tremors.
"It would be a slight, quick jolt, so it wouldn't shake for long," Dr Pejic said.
"We're definitely not expecting damage, we haven't got any reports of it."
Dr Pejic said aftershocks were not expected to happen.
It's not the first earthquake to hit near the area this year.
Back in January, a 3.1 magnitude quake was felt across the city's north, with the epicentre in Sutton, followed by a 1.5 magnitude aftershock.
"Earthquakes near Canberra are common," Dr Pejic said.
"In the past 20 years, within a 100 kilometre radius of Canberra, there's been 245 earthquakes.
"In terms of capital cities across the nation, Canberra is one of the highest rated in terms of earthquake hazard."
The largest earthquake to hit Canberra was a 3.4 magnitude earthquake in 2006.
