Spectacular Scenery
Kata Tjuta and also known as Mount Olga are a group of large domed rock formations or bornhardts located about 365 km southwest of Alice Springs, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia. Uluru, 25 km to the east and Kata Tjuta form the two major landmarks within the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. There are 36 domes, covering an area of 21.68 km². The highest point, Mount Olga, is 1066 m above sea level, or approximately 546 m above the surrounding plain (198 m higher than Uluru). Kata Tjuta is located at the eastern end of the Docker River Road.
There are many Pitjantjatjara Dreamtime legends associated with this place and indeed everything in the vicinity including, of course, Uluru. A number of legends surround the great snake king Wanambi who is said to live on the summit of Mount Olga and only comes down during the dry season.
Visitors are required to pay a National Park entry fee, which is currently $25 AUD per person. Visitors can also drive along the Lasseter Highway which joins the Stuart Hwy 200 km south of Alice Springs at the township of Erldunda. The drive is 4½ hours from Alice Springs.
Check with your tour to see if fees are included.
