Mount Augustus is not a mountain, but a breathtakingly beautiful monolith in Western Australia. At 2.5 times the size of Uluru, it is the largest rock in the world. The rock displays magnificent colours, from deep rusty red to bright orange, with white and black bands streaked across its surface. The geology of this place is unique - it is estimated to be over a billion years old, making it one of the oldest landmarks on Earth. Standing at the base of this monolith, I felt small and humbled by its sheer size and beauty. It is truly a must-see destination for those visiting Western Australia.
