Mt Augustus (or Burringurrah), about 480 km east of Carnarvon, is the largest monocline or ‘monadnock’ in the world. It is more than twice as big as Uluru (Ayers Rock), standing 858 m above the surrounding plain. The central ridge is almost 8 km long. It has been estimated that the rock of the mountain itself is some 1,000 million years old; the granite which lies beneath it may be 1,650 million years old. Climbing Mt Augustus takes at least six hours. The rock changes colour constantly, from bright red through shades of green to blue and then to orange and gold at sunset.
We are happy to accept a photo of your Team at the summit if you have had difficulty finding the actual cache.
