The Olgas (Kata Tjuta)
Kata Tjuta (otherwise known as the Olgas) are set within the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The name has been aptly given to the Olgas as Kata Tjuta actually means 'many heads' in traditional Aboriginal language.
The Olgas are about 30km from Uluru and is made up of 36 domes (now only 28) rounded domes.There are two walks that you can take around the Olgas. The Valley of the Winds Walk is along a 7km track that circles several of the Olgas. The other walk that is available is the Olga Gorge Walk (Tatintjawiya), which is a 2km walk into the beautiful gorge.
