The Olgas

The Olgas, also known by their original name of Kata Tjuta (meaning many heads), is a rock formation of the same origin as the nearby Uluru, and together form a single National Park. It is not a single monolith, but several formations of a similar height and rounded shapes. As in Uluru, its shape changes significantly as you approach them, and the trails are spectacular. It is about 25km from Uluru and the road connecting the two sites is the very best of the entire park. The largest one is known as the Valley of The Winds. It runs through the central canyon and provides spectacular views from its two balconies.

One of the most impressive features of Uluru or The Olgas (Kata Tjuta) is a red tone they acquire at sunrise or sunset. After a good day's hike you can see that wonderful moment on one of the two formations. In either of the two sites are specific areas for the beginning or the end of the day, so it's pretty easy to see. In our case, I think the most beautiful was able to observe the Moon "coming out" inside the Olgas, while rocks turned a deep red.

A 470 kilometers from Alice Springs, in the center of Australia, you can find these rock formations also known as The Olgas. There are 36 peaks among which is Mount Olga, over 1066 meters in height.
