"Excitement in downtown Daruka ... House shook because of mini-earthquake. Glass doors shuddered, walls vibrated."
He said there were two tremors, the first at 9.30pm and the second a couple of minutes later.
People also were quick to comment on the Leader's Facebook page.
When we asked where people where when they felt the tremors a welter of locations were provided.
Stroud, Gunnedah, Walcha, Coonabarabran, Bundarra and Wee Waa were mentioned.
Tara Jane Fitzsimmons, who was in Hillvue, wrote on the Leader's page: "Thought someone was trying to break in at first. lol. Rang my step dad in south and my little brother yells out in the back ground "what the hell was that!" Lol! Bit of excitement for the town. Hopefully no damage or injuries."
