Bedout
Bedout , or more specifically the Bedout High, is a geological and geophysical feature centered about off the northwestern coast of Australia in the Canning and overlying Roebuck basins. Although not obvious from sea floor topography, it is a roughly circular area about in diameter where older rocks have been uplifted as much as towards the surface and may mark the centre of a very large buried impact crater up to in diameter. The Bedout High was penetrated by two petroleum exploration wells (Bedout-1, Lagrange-1) in the 1970s and 1980s. It is named after nearby Bedout Island.
