It is believed that Aboriginal Australians have lived in the area for approximately 22 000 years! The rock stands 348 meters in height, and amazingly much of the rock’s mass is based under the surface.
Kata Tjuta is located just 40km West of Uluru. As you arrive at the viewing platform, take the opportunity to capture the stunning views in the distance. Have your camera handy, as the spectacular views of Kata Tjuta await you!
The Walpa Gorge is a desert refuge for plants and animals. Here, plants and animals escape the sizzling heat of the Uluru sun. ‘Walpa’ refers to windy, which refers to the rather refreshing winds which pass through the gorge. The rocky track of Walpa Gorge, passes through a series of rare plants, before eventually arriving in a grove full of Spearwood trees. A small stream tends to run through the centre of the landscape, however, this is weather dependent. Take a walk through the heart of Uluru, and discover this stunning landscape.
