The Olgas

2nd September

Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) are stunning rock domes, about 40km from Uluru.

 

Like Uluru, they just rise out of the plains, except there are 36 individual domes.

 

You don’t realise how big they are until you get in and walk amongst them.

 

I found it fascinating that the domes are actually made up of conglomerate rock.

 

We did the ‘Valley of the Winds’ walk, which had stunning views in and around the domes.

 

 

At Walpa Gorge, you walk between two of the tallest domes.

 

It’s hard to believe that they are over 100m taller than Uluru.

You can see how small Matt looks in the photo on the right!!
