Kata Tjuta and Uluru

Hello. Here are two significant rock formations located in the middle of the desert in Australia. The first two photos are of Kata Tjuta (also called the Olgas). There are 39 domes of rock, with the tallest one being over half a kilometre high! Notice the full moon in the second photo.


These next 2 photos are of Uluru (also known as Ayer's Rock). This first photo was taken from our hotel approximately 15 kilometres away. In the last photo you can barely see the people who have climbed to the top.



Finally, here is a video clip of what it was like to climb up Ayer's Rock. It is steep and windy, so there is a chain to hang onto.
