Onwards to Kata Tjuta ( The Olgas ) & Uluru



The solar car challenge was in progress during our stay at Alice


They travel at speeds of 30-40 km/hr


To give scale; that's Mick, Ben & Sam in front of the trees...Kata Tjuta


Tiny Zebra Finches


Passing through The Valley of the Winds walk


There are 36 domes comprising Kata Tjuta


Most popular view of " The Olgas "


Kata Tjuta is conglomerate rock ( granite & basalt )


Uluru is sedimentary sandstone 


The most popular view of Uluru


Looks like we're standing in front of a backdrop photo!

Uluru has lots of interesting formations


It's basically a grey rock which oxidises. The black is algae. 


Trees and bushes grow all around Uluru
