Mount Olga

Mount Olga, also known by its Aboriginal name Kata Tjuta, is a group of tors, or isolated weathered rocks, located in the southwestern Northern Territory of Australia. These tors are a circular collection of approximately 36 red conglomerate domes that rise from the desert plains north of the Musgrave Ranges. Mount Olga itself is the most westerly of Australia's three giant tors, reaching 1,500 feet (460 meters) above the plain. The Olgas are situated within Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park and were named in 1872 by explorer Ernest Giles after Queen Olga of Württemberg. Their Aboriginal name, Kata Tjuta, translates to "many heads". The rocks are known for their changing colors as the sun moves, and the vegetation in the clefts between the domes adds to their visual appeal.1
