This site is as sacred to the Aboriginal people as Uluru (Ayers Rock). Many Aboriginal ceremonies were, and are still carried out here, particularly at night.

The artwork is displayed in the exhibit as a 32x36 inch photograph printed on canvas. The unmounted image printed on canvas (easily shipped in a sturdy tube for stretching or framing by your local frame shop) is $399.00. Or contact us about various custom framing and mounting options.

Kata Tjuta (also known as the Olgas) means many heads to the Australian Aborigines. This group of more than 30 rounded red masses of rock rises out of the desert outback in Australia’s Northern Territory. Some of the rocks are bunched close together with only narrow crevices between. Others, rounded and polished by the wind, are spaced further apart. The highest is called Mount Olga and is 1500 feet tall.

Like their nearby neighbor, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Kata Tjuta has been sacred to the Aborigines for centuries and is a key location in their legends about the Dreaming, the time of creation. The Aborigines only permit certain views of Kata Tjuta to be photographed.

 The Aborigines identify Mount Olga as the home of the snake Wanambi who stays curled up in a waterhole on the summit during the rainy season, During the dry season he moves down to the gorge below. Wanambi also uses the various caves on Mount Olga. His breath is the wind which blows through the gorge.

As you view the distant Kata Tjuta beyond the trees, you can sense the presence of past and present Aborigines. But true to form, they can’t be seen unless they want to be seen.
