A tsunami warning for Australians and New Zealanders after two huge earthquakes struck off the coast of Pacific islands has been cancelled. Hundreds on Australia's Lord Howe Island were also warned to avoid beaches with the overnight quakes threatening to cause 'dangerous rips, waves and strong ocean currents'. However, the warning was cancelled five hours later after all main tsunami waves passed the island without significant impact. Lord Howe Island is an autonomous region of NSW home to 382 people and sits about 600km off the New South Wales North Coast.
