A series of earthquakes have rattled north-central New South Wales, with a magnitude-5.2 quake striking the Orana region in the early hours of Saturday, followed by a 4.1-magnitude aftershock just minutes later.

Geoscience Australia reported the initial tremor hit at 2.36am AEST at a shallow depth of 10km, and was felt by residents across a wide area, including Nyngan, Carinda, Dubbo, Narromine, Coolah, and Collarenebri. A third quake, measuring 3.6, was recorded at 5.43am.
