Kata Tjuta 26/4

Following our base walks at Uluru we drove about 50Km through the National Park to see Kata Tjuta, the rock formation better known as The Olgas.



The Olgas consist of 36 steep sided domes and are as red as Uluru itself.



Their formations looked pretty impressive as we drove up towards them.



We took a walk through The Valley of the Winds, but as you can see we still needed to wear the head nets to keep the annoying flies off our faces. We didn't care at this stage how silly we looked as everyone else was wearing them too.



We then took a walk through Walpa Gorge, which was formerly known as Olga Gorge. Walpa means windy and part way through the gorge you could feel the wind blowing around you, it was quite refreshing.



Climbing up through the gorge you could see the vastness of the range and the sheer rock face of the domes. The midday sun also gave the rocks the glowing redness associated with Uluru, it's closest neighbour.
