Uluru Kata Tjuta and Surrounds, Northern Territory, Australia
Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park is world Heritage listed for both its natural and cultural values. Probably one of Australia’s most recognized icon’s Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock), rises an impressive 348 meters from the desert plain. 40 kilometers to the west of the “rock”, is Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas. Their massive rock domes jut out of the landscape and date back 500 million years. Both places hold great aboriginal significance being sacred sites for the Anangu people. In contrast, Kings Canyon, in Watarrka National Park, cuts 270 metres deep into the desert plain and incorporates lush pockets of vegetation with towering palms and delicate ferns around permanent water holes. To truly appreciate the area, take a trek on a camel or take to the skies on a helicopter or scenic flight.
