Kata Tju?a, also known as Mount Olga or the Olgas, is a rock formation in Central Australia, in the Ulu?u-Kata Tju?a National Park, located in the Northern Territory. Kata Tju?a means many heads in the language of the local Anangu-Aborigines. It is a formation of about thirty rocks, the highest of which is more than 500 meters high. Geological surveys have shown that Kata Tju?a is part of a huge underground rock formation, which also includes Ulu?u. The color of Kata Tju?a varies under the changing light from red to ochre yellow. According to the Aborigines, on the highest rock of Kata Tju?a lives a mythological snake called Wanambi in a water hole close to the top. The snake's hairs are the dark lines on the east side of the rock. The wind that blows through the many holes of the rock is its breath. When the snake is very angry it swells to a hurricane.
