25. Uluru - Kata Tjuta

PURE ULURU 


The locals prefer that the rock is not climbed as it is a very sacred place. In some locations it is even forbidden for women to enter. I have respect for the Aboriginals & admire their culture & subsequently agreed not to climb the rock & in particular enter their sacred areas.

  KATA TJUTA – The Olgas

The Olgas are approximately 40 kms west of Uluru. These also are a very sacred area to the Aboroginal people & the entire area is a ‘Man’s Place’ & is entirely off limits to all aboriginal women.
The Olgas was a great place to visit & a place that was everything that I had ever imagined. For me it was of great reward to witness the enormity of her gorges and sheer peaks, a place that I had wanted to visit since my early school years.
