The dingo took my baby

1980 Australia: The baby Azaria Chamberlain was taken by a dingo at the great monolith, Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock). (Later the story was made into a Hollywood film, 'Evil Angels', aka 'A Cry in the Dark', in which Meryl Streep played Azaria’s mother, Lindy Chamberlain.)

Eventually, Mrs Chamberlain was cleared of having killed her daughter, but not before she had spent time behind bars in a case that greatly dominated the Australian consciousness for years.

Uluru is the second largest monolith in the world (after Mount Augustus, also in Australia) ...
