Mount Conner from the road to Uluru

Mount Conner is a mountain in Australia, in the language of the Aborigines he bears the name of Attila or Artilla. It reaches a height of 300 m above the ground and 859 meters above sea level. Its age is estimated at about 700 million years. It was in 1873 to ML Conner, a South Australian politician who supported many of the first settlers in Australia, named by William Gosse. You can find his name also often misdiagnosed as Mount Connor.

It is located southeast of Lake Amadeus and 100 km east of Uluru in the southwest of the Northern Territory in the field of Curtin Springs cattle station. Since it is located on private property, it can only be visited on a guided tour.

Mount Conner is a flattened, kidney- shaped mountain that extends 2,800 feet long with a maximum width of 1300 meters. Its northern edge is made sharp by the surrounding Outbackland, while its southern side is furrowed by many weathering troughs. Geologically, there is no direct connection to the sandstone formation of the nearby Ayers Rock area. However, it is often confused with Uluru as it is visible from the Lasseter Highway from leading from the Stuart Highway to Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park -.
