Kata Tjuta, Rock formation complex in Northern Territory, Australia.
The site contains 36 massive red dome formations spread across 21 square kilometers of desert landscape in central Australia.
The tallest peak received its English name Mount Olga in 1872 to honor Queen Olga of Württemberg during early Australian exploration.
The name Kata Tjuta originates from Pitjantjatjara language meaning many heads, reflecting the spiritual connection of Aboriginal people to this land.
Two main walking tracks allow visitors to experience the formations: the Valley of the Winds trail and the Walpa Gorge path.
The rock domes rise 1069 meters above sea level and consist of conglomerate materials including granite and basalt cemented by sandstone.
