‘Sudden jolt': Earthquake rocks state
A town in Victoria's central east has woken to a mammoth 3.1 magnitude earthquake on Wednesday morning.
The 3.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded shortly after 5.20am on Wednesday near Woods Point, with a 1km depth.
Residents reported a shaky start to the morning, with some claiming they felt the tremor as they slept.
'Literally woke up from a dream about an earthquake,' a local wrote on social media. 'I feel vindicated.'
Another said the tremor was so intense they thought something had crashed into their building.
'That was such a sudden jolt I was legit confused if something hit the building or not,' they wrote.
Residents in Melbourne as far west as Sunbury and south as Carrum Downs reported feeling the tremor, with the strongest reports in Healesville and Drouin in the state's east.
No injuries have been reported.
