Kata Tjutas (aka Olgas)

Kata Tjuta, means 'many heads', and is a sacred place for the Anangu men.

We took a short one hour walk in Walpa Gorge in the late afternoon but temperatures must have been over 110F in the sun next to the rocks. A wet bandana provided some relief from the extremely hot temps but it was a brisk walk back to the air-conditioned van!

The Kata Tjutas make up of a group of 36 conglomerate rock domes dating back 500 million years.
