An earthquake has again rocked residents in Australia's north on Wednesday morning.
The earthquake - estimated as between a magnitude 6.0 and 6.2 - was believed to have been centred in the Banda Sea, 321km north-east of Dili, East Timor, and was felt strongly in Darwin.
People in the Northern Territory capital reported the quake shaking furniture and knocking items off shelves around 6.25am on Wednesday.
There were no reports of damage in Darwin and as yet no reports from Timor.
A week ago a 4.7 magnitude earthquake rattled Perth residents.
The Bureau of Meteorology confirmed the quake on Wednesday morning but quickly eased fears, stating there would be no risk of a tsunami.
'I think there was another Darwin earthquake this morning. Either that or someone in my building somehow switched my entire apartment to vibrate mode,' another woman posted to twitter.
