I am confused about this image because on several visits to Uluru I have been told that it is not geologically related to Kata Tjuta?

Here is a page I found that would seem to prove my point:

http://www.deh.gov.au/parks/uluru/natural/geology.html

The formations are completely different types of rock;

Uluru rock is composed of arkose, a course grained sandstone rich in the mineral feldspar.

Kata Tjuta rock is a conglomerate - gravel consisting of pebbles, cobbles and boulders cemented by sand and mud.

I fear, you are right. The source of this scheme is from "Baedeker: Australien", a german speaking travel guide. Hmm, I'm not sure: maybe this point of view is either obsolete or totally wrong --Kookaburra 09:48, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
