Mount Augustus (Burringurrah)

Mount Augustus (Burringurrah) is a massive isolated rock formation in Mount Augustus National Park in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, about 850 km north of Perth. Rising 717 metres above the surrounding plain and extending 8 km long, it is considered the world's largest monocline and is twice the size of Uluru. Notable for its Aboriginal rock engravings, diverse walking trails, and striking arid landscape, it is a significant natural and cultural landmark.

Visitors can expect a vast, arid outback landscape dominated by the 8 km long central rock rising above spinifex plains. The area offers unsealed loop drives, marked walking trails ranging from short gorges to the steep 12 km return summit trail, Aboriginal rock engravings at sites like Mundee, Meeline and Ooramboo, seasonal waterholes such as Cattle Pool, wildflower displays after rain, and basic picnic and lookout areas. There is no town at the park; accommodation and supplies are at the nearby Mount Augustus Tourist Park.
