Australia's Uluru hard to find for drunk driver
30.03.06 3.20pm

CANBERRA - A drunk driver just 100 metres from Australia's iconic giant monolith once known as Ayers Rock has stopped police to ask the way to the 345-metre-high (1,100-ft-high) rock.

The headlights of the man's car were actually shining on Uluru, which has a 9.4-km circumference, Northern Territory police said.

The 44-year-old man, whose car was also towing an aluminium boat, has been charged with drink driving and unlicensed driving.

sometimes you just can't see the trees for the forest...
should have slept it off in the boat. Besides, where the hell is the nearest water round there?!?!?

If your driving drunk and unlicenced, and need directions - why would you stop a cop?

As for the boat, maybe he was gonna slide it down the side of Ayres Rock? Be one hell of a ride . . .

... because they are supposed to know where things are?
+ don't ALL ockers drive drunk - especially in the outback! The sides of the road glisten in the NT due to the amount of cans thrown from cage windows...

He probably didn't recognise the cop as being a cop.
They often drive holden rodeo utes with no markings.
Still a dipshit but,she's a pretty big rock aye.
