Parts of northern Brisbane and Moreton Bay have been rattled by a small earthquake.

The 2.9 magnitude quake occurred about 1.25pm AEST on Tuesday at Samsonvale, about 30km north of Brisbane, according to Geoscience Australia.

The quake, about 10km deep, has so far caused no visible damage, but social-media users in New Farm, Chermside, Ferny Grove and Moreton Bay reported feeling rumbling.

Six earthquakes have hit Queensland this year, with the largest at 3.9 magnitude off the coast of Innisfail in the far north in February.
