The Olgas or Kata Tjuta are another strange rock formation rising from the desert floor. From a distance they look like a long-forgotten mountain range with rounded tops. Upon closer inspection, one can see both similarities and differences to Uluru. The color and the “skin” are the same, but The Olgas are much greener, and instead of one lonely monolith, there are several dome-shaped hills. They reminded me of loaves of bread that had been clumsily-shaped by giant unseen hands. As the brilliant mid-day sun shone down on them, I wondered how long have they sat there in such isolation? I also wondered whether Uluru and the Olgas connected at one time?
