Kata Tjuta (the Olgas): 3 November

The other part of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is Kata Tjuta or the Olgas.  This is a remarkable formation of thirty six domes, thought to have once been a single rock many times the size of Uluru.

We entered the the Walpa Gorge from the west, with the sun behind it.

Here is picture of your heroes at the end of the trail, none the worse for wear!

After viewing the Olgas, we set off east to Kings Canyon.  Our path gave us a great view of another remarkable formation, Mount Connor, which we had seen from the air and which the literature (sic -- we mean Wikipedia) describes as "a flat-topped and horseshoe-shaped inselberg".

We had to look up the term inselberg too!
