Kendall,
Uluru is our largest monolith but not our tallest mountain. But, nice try!

Bert,
I used to teach the trainee tour guides at the local TAFE and our course was paid a visit by a similar group from Sydney. I took them to Mt Yarrowyck, a granite lump with some Aboriginal archaeology, including a rock art site that is accessible to visitors. As we walked along the track we passed a eucalypt and their leader asked me "What do you call that tree?"

I couldn't resist answering "Fred!"

He couldn't control his laughter, and said he'd never heard that response before.

Cheers, Rowan
