In Central Australia, at the eastern edge of the Gibson Desert, there is a sandstone horst, called Ayers Rock.
This is Uluru, formerly known by its European name of Ayers Rock. Uluru is Australia's and the world's second largest monolith (not the largest, as is commonly thought). It is about 3.6 kilometres in length, but this is difficult to measure as it is an irregular shape, not the oblong-shape it often appears from the ground. Its circumference is 9.4km. Uluru stands 348m (1142ft) high at its highest point and is believed to extend another 2.5 km into the ground.
