Saturday the 16th of July 2022 – Yulara, Kata Tjuta (Olgas), Northern Territory

Kata-Tjuta (The Olgas)

Today we travelled the 48 k’s out to Kata-Tjuta. It’s hard to believe that within 50 k’s you have Uluru and Kata-Tjuta, or for us oldies, Ayers Rock and The Olgas. When I came here in 1975, its was a dirt road all the way and basically we could climb or go anyway over Kata-Tjuta, picking up rocks and rolling boulders over, basically doing what we wanted (never left rubbish or kept/stole rocks etc), just did what 16 year old boys did at that time. Completely different story now of course. We did a couple of walks, more difficult than the walk around Uluru yesterday as it was very rocky today against a flat and smooth path at the rock.
