Mount Augustus, Western Australia

Mount Augustus (Burringurrah) is located in the Mount Augustus National Park in Western Australia. The name is also given to the neighbouring pastoral lease, Mount Augustus Station.
It is a prominent inselberg that stands above sea level, or approximately above the surrounding plain, and covers an area of . It has a central ridge which is almost long.
==Monolith - monocline distinction==
Mount Augustus is widely claimed in tourist promotional and information literature as the "world's largest monolith",〔http://www.mtaugustustouristpark.com/general-information.html〕 but the claim does not originate from the geological literature, nor is substantiated by any other scholarly research.〔 - notably in the abstract: ''Mount Augustus has often been compared with Ayers Rock, and unwarranted claims have been made that it is the biggest rock in the world and the world's biggest monolith.'' and ''Other rock types present on Mount Augustus include metamorphic and igneous rocks, which preclude it from being termed a monolith.'' see abstract - ()〕
Mt. Augustus is more than twice the size of Uluru. Unlike Uluru, which is a monolith and, in general, devoid of plant growth, Mt. Augustus is a monocline (an asymmetrical anticline).
