Day 13 - Kata Tjuta

Everyone has heard of Ayers Rock but not everyone knows that it is also called Uluru or has heard of Kata Tjuta which is just as wonderful and only 25 km to the west.



Kata Tjuta was first on our list of places to visit on the afternoon that we flew to Uluru for our 3 night stay.

As the temperature was around 44°C we had to keep sipping water to prevent dehydration as we walked across the terrain up a gorge.

It's not called "the Valley of the Winds" for nothing. It's a good job my hat had a chin strap!

Sunrise and sunset are the best time to observe the rocks as this is when their colours change along with the colours in the sky...

...and we had the opportunity to watch the rocks change colour while drinking sparkling wine and trying a range of hors d'oeuvres.
