The largest rock in Australia and, indeed, the whole world is Mt Augustus (Burringurrah, as it is known by Wajarri Yamatji traditional owners), in Western Australia, located inland, east of Carnarvon, and about 850km north of Perth. It is more than twice the size of Uluru- Ayers Rock. It rises 717 metres above the stony desert, and extends for a length of 8km - almost the entire circumference of Uluru. (Some sources say Mt Augustus is 858m in height, but Western Australia's Department of Conservation and Land Management states 717m.)

Uluru/Ayers Rock is often regarded as the least monolith or monocline, as there is more of the rock below the surface than above; regardless, Mt Augustus is larger than Uluru.
