Usually Uluru or Ayers Rock is often called as world’s largest rock. But in fact Uluru is more then 2 times smaller size comparing with Mount Augustus.<\/p>\n
I am sure somebody will start argue it is different type of rock. One is monocline and another is monolith.\u00a0 I am not planning be involved in such discussion, but you can check this talk<\/a> on wikipedia if you are interested.<\/p>\n Mt. Augustus, or Burringurrah as local aboriginals call it,\u00a0 raises 1106 meters ( 3629 feet) above sea level. It is 8 kilometers (5 miles) long and 3 kilometers (1.5 miles) wide.<\/p>\n Circumference of Mt August is about 30 kilometers (~16 miles). For comparison Uluru circumference is slightly more then 9 kilometers (~6 miles). There is no base walk, but you can take 49-kilometer drive around the rock with access to some creek gorges and Aboriginal rock engravings.<\/p>\n Getting there is one of the exciting parts of the trip to Mount Augustus. It is very remote place. Nearest city, Carnarvon, is located 430 kilometers (~270 miles) West from the mountain and 360 kilometers (~225 miles) East there is small town – Meekatharra.<\/p>\nHow big is Mount Augustus<\/h2>\n
