Mount Connor

Mount Connor, known to the Aborigines as Atila, was discovered in 1873 and named after the South Australian politician M.L. Connor.

This tabular hill comes in sight some 130km after the Lasseter Highway branches off the Stuart Highway and is often confused with Ayers Rock. It rises to a height of 350m above the plain, with a steeply scarped north side and a summit plateau. The south side has a very different aspect, sloping down more gently in a series of depressions.

From the Mount Connor Lookout rest area on the Lasseter Highway there are views of a number of salt lakes.
