Kata Tjuta

The sunset was so spectacular that we decided it was worth rising early to see the sunrise at Uluru. It was nice, but lacking the clouds of the night before, the colors were not quite as spectacular.

The highlight of the morning turned out to be the Ranger led talk along the Mala trail. This trail hits some of the highlights of Uluru: there are Aboriginal drawings, geological formations, ending at a shaded waterhole.

After lunch at Uluru, it was time to head over to the second half of the National Park: Kata Tjuta (aka The Olgas). This formation is similar to Uluru but was exposed earlier, and erosion has divided it into multiple mounds. They have an excellent trail to several scenic views. I was fortunate enough while on this path to run across a wild Wallaby, and the views were amazing.

The composition of Kata Tjuta is similar to that of Uluru--the sunset did not disappoint!
