The domes from the plain, from the air and from the road in; inside
Walpa Gorge and on the Valley of the Winds boardwalk; and Uluru, 50 km east, because

own listings for the departures Kata Tjuta Tours compares.

Where these photographs were taken
Most of them sit inside Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, within about fifty kilometres
of Yulara. The map page shows how the two formations, the viewing
areas and the resort sit against each other, and
the walks and lookouts explains what each named place
actually is.
