Kata Tjuta

Wednesday, 3rd August 2005 by James

Next to Uluru are 36 are smaller monoliths known as Kata Tjuta (or ‘The Olgas’). The highest of the monoliths is Mount Olga which is 546 metres tall. Kata Tjuta used to be one gigantic monolith many times the size of Uluru but millions of years of erosion have reduced the single monolith to a series of smaller ones.
