Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas, is a group of large, domed rock formations or bornhardts located about 360 km southwest of Alice Springs, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia. The 36 domes that make up Kata Tjuta cover an area of 21.68 km2, are composed of conglomerate, a sedimentary rock consisting of cobbles and boulders of varying rock types including granite and basalt, cemented by a matrix of sandstone.

A number of Aboriginal Australian legends surround the Great Snake King Wanambi, who is said to live on the summit of Kata Tjuta and only comes down during the dry season. His breath was said to be able to transform a breeze into a hurricane in order to punish those who did evil deeds. The majority of mythology surrounding the site is not disclosed to outsiders.

FUN FACT: The tallest dome of Kata Tjuta rises 546m above its surrounds. That makes it taller than the One World Trade Centre in New York City, almost double the height of Centrepoint Tower in Sydney.
