Updated 28 minutes ago

Australian officials have recorded the first effects of a wide-ranging tsunami generated by the Chile earthquake, reporting a rise in sea levels but no major waves.

Water levels surged by a few centimetres off Tasmania, with waves expected to increase in size over the next few hours.

Maria Island off the state's east coast has experienced a tidal increase of 10 centimetres.
