Would seem fantastical for it to actually be an
impact crater within a dried up stock watering
pond. . . .

Anyone on the list in that part of the world??

The largest discontinuous ring is likely the rim of a
stock pond because of its location in a dry valley
and the road that connects directly to it. The circular
features within the rim of the stock pond look like
?bathtub rings? that represent the former ?shorelines?
/ extents of the pond that formed as the pond dried up.

The coordinates for this feature, which is about
45 meters in diameter, are:

1. Northing 6,313,739, Easting 553,490
UTM Zone 50

2. latitude: 33 degrees 18? 51? South
longitude: 117 degrees 34? 29? East

It is in Lot 3286 Ballaying Road,
Ballaying, West Australia, Australia

The experts in local geology are:

Geological Survey of Western Australia
Department of Mines and Petroleum
Mineral House, 100 Plain Street
East Perth, Western Australia 6004
