A magnitude 2.9 earthquake has struck Brendale, north of Brisbane, with people across south-east Queensland feeling buildings shake.
Geoscience Australia reported the tremor was detected at 1:25pm.
There are no reports of damage or people being injured.
Geoscience Australia said more than 700 people reported that they felt the tremor, which had a depth of 10 kilometres.
Initially it was reported to be a magnitude 3 quake with an epicentre reported to have been near Kilcoy, in D'Aguilar National Park near Mount Byron.
Hadi Ghasemi, a senior seismologist at Geoscience Australia, said it was unlikely to have caused severe damage.
"So you would have definitely felt the shaking."
He said any aftershocks would likely be of smaller magnitude.
He said the region had experienced eight earthquakes in the past 20 years.
'As if a jumbo jet had flown over at low height'
People across the Somerset, Moreton Bay and Brisbane regions in south-east Queensland have reported feeling the earth shake.
"I was home at Narangba, eating my lunch, and I heard this rumble — like a thump," Sue told ABC Radio Brisbane.
Andrew Samford told ABC Brisbane he felt "a sizeable tremor in the Samford Valley area" that "shook the house".
Dayboro resident Brian told ABC Radio the quake rattled his window.
"I was just downstairs working in my little workshop down there and felt a rumble and heard the windows of the house shaking, and my wife came downstairs and we both sort of wondered what it was," he said.
The tremor was also felt in parts of Brisbane's CBD with office workers feeling the rumble.
"My desk was shaking. The building was rumbling. It was very small but still noticeable," Cassie said from her Gardens Point office.
Kimberley in West End said she also heard a rumble.
"The feeling and sound was a bit like as if a jumbo jet had flown over at low height," she said.
