KATA TJUTA
 * On our second day, after the pre-dawn wake-up to catch the sunrise over Uluru, we travelled out to Kata Tjuta in the afternoon.

This collection of large rocks formally known as The Olgas (as named by the early European explorers) is now generally referred to as KATA TJUTA ("many heads" in the local Aboriginal Anangu language).

It is a group of more than 30 rounded red domes rising from the desert floor. The tallest is said to be around 546 metres high. Kata Tju__t__ a is about 30 kilometres west of Ulur u. Tourists are excluded from most of the area as it is sacred to the local Aboriginal people. || ||  ||
