Less than an hour prior to that warning, the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no tsunami threat to Australia.
Local authorities then re-affirmed at 7.07pm (AEDST) that there was no threat to Australia.
Masses of water have already devastated north eastern Japan with images coming through of whole towns being swept away.
