A tsunami thrown up by a powerful earthquake off the Solomon Islands should roll into the north Queensland coast between 10 to 20 centimetres in height, the Australian geological agency says.

The tsunami was ''not a really big (threat) for the coast of Australia,'' a Geoscience Australia spokeswoman said.
