Kata Tjuta

Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas, is a group of 36 large domed rock formations in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, about 40 km west of Uluru in the Petermann region of the Northern Territory. Composed of conglomerate rock, the highest dome, Mount Olga, rises 546 metres above the plain. Jointly managed with Anangu traditional owners, it is renowned for its dramatic geology, cultural significance and walking trails.

Visitors can expect a vast desert landscape dominated by 36 steep-sided conglomerate domes rising from the plain. The site is accessed via sealed roads and offers two main marked walking trails: the Walpa Gorge Walk between towering walls and the Valley of the Winds circuit with elevated lookouts over the domes and surrounding desert. There is a dedicated sunset viewing area, interpretive signage, and views of spinifex plains. Facilities are limited to car parks, toilets and shade shelters; the main Cultural Centre is near Uluru.
