  Uluru and Kata Tjuta
March 6, 2016
 
 

Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park, and is sacred to the Aboriginal people of the area. There are many springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings and Uluru is listed as a World Heritage Site for both its natural and man-made attributes.

Kata Tjuta, also called Mount Olga or The Olga's owing to its peculiar formation, is another rock formation 25 km (16 miles) from Uluru. The name Kata Tjuta means "many heads" as it consists of 36 massive round rock domes covering 15 square miles. Higher than Uluru, the rock was once one giant dome that eroded to its present form. Both Uluru and Kata Tjuta have great cultural significance for the traditional landowners, the Anangu tribe.
