A massive 348-metre arkose sandstone monolith rising abruptly from the Central Australian desert; the iron-rich surface has oxidised into a deep rusted crust that conceals hidden waterholes and ancient Anangu petroglyphs; stand at the Mutitjulu Waterhole at sunset; the stone transitions through a spectrum of incandescent violet and deep ochre; the silence of the Spinifex plains is broken only by the low whistle of the desert wind.
