Kata Tjuta

If you are like me, I had never heard of any other large rocks out near Uluru. Even after watching countless documentaries, I had the impression of it being the only big thing for thousands of miles. No one ever talks about Kata Tjuta, or the Olgas, even though, to me, they are just as impressive as Uluru. And to the aboriginal people, the site is just as, if not more, important.


While Uluru is really one big rock, Kata Tjuta is mltiple formations made up of a number of different rock types. That's about the extent of my geology.



To me, from this distance, the formations look like the knuckles of someone's fist rising up out of the ground.


In doing a little exploring, the landscape of the rocks is spectacular.


The rocks here at Kata Tjuta are the same color as Uluru, because everything, including the dirt, is rusting.
