Kata Tjuta / Mount Olga, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park

This is another amazing natural formation that emerges from the desert. We went on the sunrise tour to view the formation and it was worth it ( a bonus is to see in the distance the sun rise behind Uluru from the viewing platforms). There are two walks available but we only did the shorter Walpa Gorge walk which takes about an hour to return). To undertake this walk it is recommended that you have decent walking/hiking shoes as it is an uneven rocky surface in parts.

The Olgas are truly more beautiful than you could ever imagine. Best tip is to do the entire 7km circuit walk, early in the morning before the sun and the flies get brutal (and it is quiet). In some parts the walk is steep and tricky but it took us a little under 3 hours and was absolutely worth the effort and aching muscles afterwards. We had our four kids with us (all older than 11) but they got through it okay. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers here when they said that the Olgas are more memorable than Uluru but both are incredible.
