Mount Augustus, or Burringurrah as it is known by the local Wadjari Aboriginal people, is about 850 kilometres from Perth and midway between the Great Northern and North West Coastal highways. One of the most spectacular solitary peaks in the world, it rises 717 metres above a stony, red sandplain of arid shrubland-dominated by wattles, cassias and eremophilas-and is clearly visible from the air for more than 160 kilometres.
This makes Mt. Augustus the biggest monolith in the world.
