From carnarvon to mount augustus

Thanks for that information Muzbry, we have been giving out the wrong information about Mount Augustus for quite some time.

This link gives a little information on a monocline ...

We thouroughly enjoyed our visit back in 2009.

Gday Rob
I new someone would check up on me, and i am happy that it was you. I must head out that way one day, but at the moment we are going to Darwin for the first time since 1971. Just for a look around and a rest.
Look after yourselves.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Augustus_National_Park -

Mount Augustus is an inselberg that stands 1106 m above sea level, or approximately 860 m above the surrounding plain, and covers an area of 4,795 ha. It has a central ridge which is almost 8 km long. Mount Augustus is widely claimed in tourist promotional and information literature as the “world's largest monolith”, but the claim does not originate from the geological literature, nor is substantiated by any other scholarly research.

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, source W.A. Department of Environment and Conservation) and has plant growth on it.

Hire cars are to fast, you get there before you have left and don't see anything.....

Company cars are even faster Muzbry. You would probably get a company car to the top of the monocline if you really tried.:):):)

Easy Kevin , not a problem at all.....:)

yea well i once did a comparrison on Peak Charles and Uluru using a number of criteria of which Peak Charles trumped Uluru on every point
- but it doesnt stop people going there by the 000s

...lack of people would be the best point, though the view is pretty good as well.

Cheers

more like peak charles was equal on all points except for the ones it was ahead on
