Kata Tjuta of Uluru is Kata Tjuta, a must see geological marvel and one of the two main features in Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park. Unlike the single stone mass that makes up Uluru, Kata Tjuta is made up of 36 imposing domed rock formations, aptly named many heads in the local Anangu language. The alternative name, the Olgas, comes from the tallest peak Mt. Olga which was named after Queen Olga of Wurttemberg in 1872. This tallest peak stands at a towering 1066 metres above sea level. The local Aboriginal Anangu communities have inhabited this land for over 22,000 years. Knowledge, stories and rules of Anangu life come from the Tjukurpa, however many of these stories at Kata Tjuta remain sacred and cannot be retold to those outside the community. The best place to take in the majesty of the 36 domes is from the top of a sand dune lookout for a panoramic view of Kata Tjuta with Uluru on the horizon. Like Uluru, Kata Tjuta has perfectly positioned viewing areas and is most impressive at sunrise and sunset. To experience the grand scale of the towering domes, you can venture between the domes on the Walpa Gorge and Valley of the Winds walks. Only two walks are open to the public to protect the fragile desert environment and to allow the owners of the land to continue carrying out their ancient spiritual ceremonies. The journey between the two tallest domes at Walpa Gorge along a rocky creek bed.
