Checkout the contrast in the colors of the mountains with and without sunlight. Against the backdrop of the crystal clear blue sky.

The good news is if we can get closer to the other mound, we will be protected by the shade. And that is the way we are headed as of now!

You can see Kata Tjuta in the background

On the way to Kata Tjuta, we stopped at a place to climb up a sand dune to get a panoramic view. The dunes are very deceptive. Because of the vegetation, you don’t realize that they are dunes. But they are huge dumps of red sand and if you carefully notice, you can see the contours of all the sand dunes.

You may remember the picture of this from early dawn today. It is much longer than Uluru but is not one monolithic structure.
