Location & Dimensions:

Australia’s famous giant red boulder is part of Inisfree’s military training region, perched near the corner of one of the two desert plateaus.  There is a narrow waterfall that cascades down through several tiny pools, and a rather difficult-to-spot natural staircase of indentions and ridges that allow for non-technical foot traffic.  Like its namesake, Uluru 2 rises to a prominence of 1,142′ above the local desert plateau terrain.

  • base:  ~3,520′ above Inisfree’s ground-level
  • width, short axis:  ~2,046′
  • width, long axis:  2,574′
  • top:  ~4,662′ above Inisfree’s ground-level

 

Additional Notes:

It is now thought that the namesake of this feature in Inisfree could be the petrified ruins of another of Earth‘s now-confirmed prehistoric giant trees.  Then again, it could also be a petrified organ of one of the Titans.  Imagine if it was how big their hearts used to be…
