Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, is a group of large, domed rock formations located in the Northern Territory of Australia. Situated approximately 25 kilometers west of the iconic Uluru, Kata Tjuta forms part of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The name "Kata Tjuta" means "many heads" in the local Pitjantjatjara language, referring to the 36 individual rock domes that make up the formation. These ancient rocks are composed primarily of conglomerate and date back around 500 million years.
