Kata Tjuta National Park

THE OLGAS Again it is so hard to do justice to the area with photographs. The Olgas consist of 36 domes with the highest being 546 metres, 200 metres highter than Uluru which is 30 km's away.
There are a couple of walks there and you walk amongst the domes, it is unreal being totally surrounded by solid rock. Not a lot of vegetation in the gorges, some wattles and gum trees. We didn't see any wildlife only some birds.

Your arduous walk is rewarded when you come through one of the gorges and have this view in the Valley of Winds. The day was overcast with mist a lot of the time around the high peaks and then a brief ray of sunshine as we reached this spot. All up for the day we walked around 10 km's.

How's this for a rock?
