Ananova:

An Australian man has been arrested for drink-driving after he asked police the way to Uluru - just 100 metres from the 1,115ft high rock.

Police say the 44-year-old was driving a four-wheel drive with his headlights shining on the rock when he waved them down.

It happened in the dark but police point out that Uluru, former known as Ayer's Rock, is the world's greatest monolith, reports ABC News online.

The man is said to have failed a breath test and has been charged with drink-driving and driving while unlicensed.
