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.
