Mount Gabi is an underwater mountain, similar to a guyot, that was discovered in 2006, 50km (30miles) off the coast of Augusta near the south-western tip of Western Australia.[1] It lies a similar distance west of Windy Harbour
It lies at a depth of 1000m (3,000feet), rising 300m (1,000feet) from the sea floor and is 5km (03miles) wide.
Mount Gabi was discovered by Cameron Buchanan, a multibeam sonar specialist from Geoscience Australia, the Australian national agency for geoscience research, via swath mapper during investigations of continental shelf processes between the Great Australian Bight and Cape Leeuwin.
