It must be the first time in these more tsunami-conscious times that the Bureau of Meteorology has issued a tsunami alert for the NSW coast.
An 8.1 earthquake off the Solomons at around 6.40 this morning is known to have caused 15cm waves in the outlying Solomon Islands.
It seems low risk at this time, but links for more information are here:

Alert eased
There seems to be no evidence of a destructive tsunami threatening the Australian coast now. The PTWC has cancelled its alert for Hawaii.
There are, however, unconfirmed reports of widespread damage in some of the Solomons Islands.
