Kata Tjuṯa, also known as the Olgas, is a group of large, domed rock formations or bornhardts located about 360 km southwest of Alice Springs, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia. Uluṟu, also known as Ayers Rock, located 25 km (16 mi) to the east, and Kata Tjuṯa form the two major landmarks within the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. The park is considered sacred to the Aboriginal people of Australia. The 36 domes that make up Kata Tjuṯa cover an area of 21.68 km2 (8.37 sq mi). The highest dome, Mount Olga, is 1,066 m (3,497 ft) above sea level, or approximately 546 m (1,791 ft) above the surrounding plain (198 m (650 ft) higher than Uluṟu).

Have been very busy @ the moment!
It's almost the end of the week...... :))))))))
We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Australia. For a month, we had the privilege of exploring part of this vast country, photographing its amazing wildlife, especially birds, and enjoying its beautiful landscapes.
To our friends Kevin and Karen in Melbourne, John and Leoni in Mount Barker (Adelaide Hills), and Colin in Brisbane, our heartfelt thanks for their valuable help. To all of you, our sincere gratitude.

The sun has set some 17 minutes ago but the amazing rocks at the Devil's Marbles in Northern Territory seem to get redder and redder as darkness falls

Kata Tjuta at sunrise.
This spectacular set of domed rocks clustered together 30km west of Uluru are equally as captivating as their prominent neighbour and of equal wonderment under the magical sunrise and sunset light.
Press "L" to view this large on black and, as always, thanks for looking.

Base of Uluru in the afternoon. Uluru / Ayers Rock is a massive sandstone rock formation in the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Interestingly, simply by tapping, the sandstone is demonstrably hollow in places.
