Uluru’s ancient neighbour, Mt Olga/Kata Tjuta, 50 km to the west, is a spectacular collection of 36 weathered red domes with steep sides, separated by narrow valleys between and covering about 35 sq km.
Kata Tjuta’s highest feature is Mt Olga which rises 546m from the desert floor and 1072m above sea level. In the language of the local Anangu people, Kata Tjuta means ‘many heads’.
Kata Tjuta might be less famous than Uluru but park visitors are always captivated by its beauty and many people believe it holds even greater charm than its neighbour to the east.
