Mt Augustus Australia
The largest rock in the world is Mt Augustus. Twice the size of Ayers Rock, it abruptly rises 2354 ft above the surrounding plains, and at 1750 million years old, it has long been an outstanding landmark. It constantly changes colour from bright red at sunrise through shades of green, to hues of blue then through orange to gold at sunset.
