      Some more amazing shots from this beautiful part of Australia. The whole experience would be even better if not for the flies because there are thousands of them and I recall the bus driver saying to us as we arrived that the best investment we could make would be a fly net that strategically sits over the top of your head.
      If you plan to tour the NT this is an absolute must have item. Fortunately for us there is a lot of wind in the Kata Juta park area as the wind in different parts of the park howls through the rocky outcrops...this is a natural fly repellent as flies do not like windy areas.
      We completed most of the walks in the morning between 8.00am and 11.00am as the temperature is much more moderate at this time of the year. Our guide Suzie told us that sometimes in summer the temperature can rise to 45 degrees celsius which would make the walks much less enjoyable. Note anyone thinking of visiting the NT, avoid summer unless you really enjoy the heat! Jenny would go :)

      This is definitely one of the highlights of the trip thus far. Kuta Juta translates to many heads which is in reference to the 16 rocky outcrops that occur in this park.
      The amazing rust like colour of the rock is due to the ferrite compound in the rock that oxidizes when in contact with oxygen and water...the rocks are literally rusting and if you split a rock into two pieces the inside of the rock is grey.
      The walk around this area was 6.6 kilometers with many amazing sights along the way.
      We learnt about the striations on the rock surface and the fact that millions of years ago the area was covered by an inland sea that helped to form the river beds, mountains and valleys you see today.
      Vegetation is sparse and also beautiful especially the ghost gums which stand as sentinels in and around the area. The light powder that you can rub from the bark helps indigenous children to learn how to body paint before graduating to ochre.
