So Kata Tjutas was day 2 of my tour. It was a lot of giant rocks. Red rocks. Rocks that are hard to climb up. Haha. It was my least favorite of the tour. It was still enjoyable. I felt like it was such a smooth hike up Kings Canyon that the rocky steep climb up the Olgas was a bit much. After the climb into the main area it was fun. There was a valley which was pretty.
Kata Tjuta (the t is silent) is a sacred men's place for the aboriginal community. The tour guide didn't know why, and even if he did he couldn't tell us. It was very hush hush.
I like the valley area where we got a snack (maybe that helped). The guide found these different colored rocks and told us that the aboriginal people use to use that as paint. So I got my arm painted but the lovely English girl Nikki. I instantly thought of the natural sidewalk chalk. Teaching has taken over my brain! Haha.
I loved the "Hold on to your hat" sign. I didn't realize until looking at the photo it was drawn on. Oh well! It made me giggle!
I liked the way the trees stood out against the red rocks and the brown dirt. I thought is so so amazing to see trees everywhere in this desert.
It was a long day! Later on that night we went next to Uluru and got to see it at Sunset.. so on to the next blog!
