Kata Tjuta — Nature’s Rockstars of a Land Down Under
A natural rock concert in the red centre of Australia
I heard a fascinating statistic recently.
The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old, and if you were to put that in a timescale of 46 years, we as a human species have only been here for 4 hours.
It puts things into perspective, as stepping into nature tends to do. She dissolves stress with a nurturing vibration. No agenda, no toxicity — just a frequency of truth.
That statistic levels the playing field, and it shows how we are really just a tiny blip on her vast history.
That’s what I was thinking about the afternoon we visited Kata Tjuta — a 500-million-year-old colossal rock formation about 40 km drive from Uluru in the centre of Australia. If Uluru rock is ‘The Beatles,’ then Kata Tjuta is ‘The Rolling Stones’ — less limelight, but equally impressive.
The Sheer Depth of Scale
Life is all about perspective, and standing at the first viewing point for Kata Tjuta is stunning. The black silhouette-like trees with green hair appear to do a funky dance as if paying homage to the rockstar monument in the background.
