Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On April 22, 2005, Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Registrant”) changed accountants from Deloitte & Touche LLP to Madsen & Associates upon receipt of a resignation from Deloitte & Touche LLP.

The Registrant retained Deloitte & Touche LLP after dismissing Madsen & Associates on August 10, 2004. Deloitte & Touche LLP, while retained by the Registrant issued no reports with respect to the financial statements of the Registrant and there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to make reference to the matter in its reports on the Registrant’s financial statements.

The decision to retain Madsen & Associates was approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors and the Registrant has not previously consulted with Madsen & Associates regarding either:

The application of accounting principles to any specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Registrant nor oral advice was provided that Madsen & Associates concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

2.	Any matter that was either subject of disagreement or event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-B, or a reportable event, as that term is explained in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B.

On August 9, 2005, the Registrant provided Deloitte & Touche LLP with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to Item 4.01 on this Form 8-K, and requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. The letter received from Deloitte & Touche LLP is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1.
