Mount Augustus National Park

Mount Augustus rises 715 meters above the surrounding plains, forming the central feature of this 9,168-hectare national park in Western Australia.

The national park was established in 1989 to protect the geological formation that began developing over 1.6 billion years ago through mineral deposits.

The Wajarri Aboriginal people name the mountain Burringurrah and maintain deep connections to this land through ceremonies, stories, and rock art sites.

Visitors can access the park via a 320-kilometer drive from Carnarvon, with facilities including camping areas, walking trails, and interpretive signage.

The park contains what geologists classify as the largest monocline in the world, spanning eight kilometers in length and two kilometers in width.
