The outback - Kata Tjuta and Uluru

Uluru is situated in the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park. This link povides additional information about the area.
In the afternoon we set out to explore Kata Tjuta formerly known as the Olgas. Travelling through the sandy desert we stopped for a panoramic view of these ancient domed rock formations rising from the desert.



Once at the Olgas we went for a walk into the Walpa Gorge on a track that follows the creek situated between the two largest domes of Kata Tjuta.

 

The walk provided opportunity to admire the spectacular ancient rocks.

 

 

We then travelled to a viewing area to watch the colour changes of the rock surface as the sun set at Uluru.
