THE OLGAS (KATA TJUTA): NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA

Kata Tjuta, meaning ‘many heads’, is made up of a group of 36 conglomerate rock domes that date back 500 million years. To Anangu (Local Indigenous People), iis a sacred place relating to knowledge that is considered very powerful and dangerous, only suitable for initiated men. These rocks are found 40km west of Ayers Rock (Uluru).

From the moment you fly into this sunburnt landscape, the two sandstone monoliths of Uluru and Kata Tjuta can easily be picked out in the distance. You don't actually appreciate their size until you are up close and personal and then you are overwhelmed by their beauty, size, colour and texture!

I took hundreds of photos and really couldn't pick which ones to use, each has its own beauty, the colours of these magnificent monoliths change constantly with the changing light from the sun.

I hope you enjoyed a snippet of what was truly a magical experience for me.
