We drove up from Uluru but did not have time to hike into the valleys so it was all a little low key (especially after confronting the massive one-piece lump of Uluru). Didn't stay long and drove back to Uluru for more sightseeing and walking there.
Kata Tjuta is a series of rock domes in the middle of the Australian Northern Territories and equals its better known rival, Uluru (Ayers Rock), in its grandeur. Both Kata Tjuta and Uluru are within sight of each other so can be visited during a single trip to the area. The sunrise and sunset tours are highly recommended. Beware the extreme heat and the flies and come prepared for both.
We went to Kata Tjuta by AAT Kings coach. Impressive arrangement of rocks, in sum 36. Problem with the coach: not much time, just get out, do the walk, back to the bus.I would go back to Kata Tjuta and explore further, just rent an own car to be independent and safe lots of bucks at the same time.
We took a tour of Kata Tjuta through the AAT Kings from Yulara resort and were not disappointed. This is a beautiful rock formation that doesn't get nearly the same amount of press as it's cousin Uluru. However, I found the trip out here well worth it. Although Uluru has the impressive size, I found the formations here much more impressive. Being able to walk between these huge boulders was a real treat.
We stopped here on our 1st day in the National park and should have gone back, wow what a place and the walks when open and just great although again 36c+ and they shut the Valley of the winds. what's going on here its always this hot.....Anyway stopped in the car part in the sun and went to the water tanks and got ants coming out oh well glad we brought our own water, then off we go up the path into the mountains, ops that's enough, you need to go to see the rest but its very good I am telling you. The mountains are amazing
These are, in their way, as magnificent as Uluru - though to me they did not have the same atmosphere of brooding serenity that exudes from the big boy - but still very very worth a visit
I'd no knowledge of Kata Tjuta till we arrived at Uluru Resort and met our guide. This was a great surprise and the walk up Walpa gorge will be remembered by all who walked. 47c is really hot and is an experience. Who'd expect to see tadpoles swimming in the litle streamlet from the rains earlier in the week?Valley of the Winds walk must be done early in the morning as the safety rules close it to walkers when the temp is 36c. this excursion is well worth the effort and discomfort to see and experience the nature and climate. TIP for your visit. You must have water bottle and if you have an umbrella, it helps to shade you from the worst of the sun's power.The first peoples lived here for thousands of years before the arrival of the white man, They didn't have airconditioned buses/ cars but managed anyway. I admire and respect their knowledge
来到Alice Spring必定去的景点之一,原住民的风情,美丽的观光步道,值得一来!附近还有原住民为主题的展览馆,结束步道的行程后可以到这里来些冰凉的,好好休息放松一下。
The Olgas are truly amazing in their shape and configuration. We didn't venture too far in to see them as it was 42 degrees and mid afternoon (do your touring first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon) but even from afar they are a collection of rocks that make you happy to be there :)
At first when we saw Kata Tjuta from a distance driving in it looked equally if not more impressive than Uluru. Once you get up close however it loses a little bit of that allure. We didn't have time to hike here (only Uluru) but if you're planning a visit I would do some research on Kata as well because you will need multiple days to do both.
