Mount Augustus Accommodation, Hotels, Tours & Information
Mount Augustus
Massive Mount Augustus in the central Western Australian outback abounds with Aboriginal history, rock art and wildlife.
Known as Burringurrah by the local Wadjari Aboriginal people, Mount Augustus rises an incredible 860 metres above the surrounding plain and is twice to size of Uluru, making it the biggest rock in the world.
Aboriginal culture permeates the area - mysterious caves and ancient aboriginal rock art sites have remained untouched for thousands of years.
The rock’s natural springs were an important water source for the Wadjari people.
