Northern Territory: The Olgas (Kata Tjuta)



The Olgas from afar

The Olgas consists of 36 rounded domes or heads, separated by narrow valleys. The tallest is Mt Olga.

They are located a short distance from Ayers Rock (Uluru), and approximately 4.5 hours if driving from Alice Springs.

Map showing the only two publicly accessible walks. Everything else is forbidden to outsiders.

Bring plenty of drinking water as it gets hot! Morning is the best time to go.

Kata Tjuta means "many heads". It is sacred to Anangu Men with the Traditional Law still learnt and passed on today.

Under Kata Tjuta Law, detailed knowledge of the area is restricted to certain people only. It is forbidden to pass this information on to the wrong people.
