	Uluru and Kata Tjut: a testimony to the Flood
		In the exposures at Uluru and Kata Tjuta respectively, the rock compositions and fabrics are uniformly similar throughout (2.5 kilometres or 1.6 miles thick in the case of Uluru) and the layering extremely regular and parallel.
		Those experts in landscape-forming processes, who have intensively studied Uluru, Kata Tjuta, and other Central Australian landforms, are convinced that these shapes were carved out by water erosion in a hot, humid tropical climate, and not by wind erosion as in today’s dry desert climate.
		Uluru and Kata Tjuta are therefore stark testimony to the raging waters of the global Flood, as in the eye-witness record in the book of Genesis.

		During the summer, temperatures at Kata Tjuta and Uluru can easily reach 120 degrees and walkers have to take great care not to become heat stressed or dehydrated.

		These are a group of 28 rounded hills resembling domes, 27 km west of Uluru.
		There are two perpendicular sets of vertical joint planes which have acted as zones of weakness for erosion, resulting in formation of deep, narrow valleys (such as the Valley of the Winds), separating the rounded rock masses.

		Kata Tjuta means 'many heads' in the local Aboriginal dialect, and it's a good name; it's easy to see why a lot of people prefer it to Uluru itself.
		The walks at Kata Tjuta are delightful: I set off on the longer of the two, which passes in a loop through the Valley of the Winds, and I figured it was a good thing I was on disposable cameras, so I couldn't take too many pictures – this place is amazing.
		The sunset over Kata Tjuta was beautiful, though cut short by low clouds on the horizon, and before long I'd started the 50km drive back to Yulara.

		This area is of vital significance to the Anangu people (the traditional Aboriginal owners), whose ancestors are thought to have lived in the area for at least 10,000 years and possibly far longer.
		There is a walking trail around the base of the rock and a two-hour climb to the summit, which is not as popular as it used to be, as more people respect the wishes of the local Aboriginal people and choose not to climb.
		Kata Tjuta, meaning 'many heads', is comprised of 36 rocks and in many ways this rock formation is a more rewarding destination than the more popular Uluru.
