27.12.2006. Mount Conner.

Mount Conner, also known as Attila and Artilla, and occasionally found as Mount Connor, is a mountain reaching to 859 m (2,818 ft) above sea level and to 300 m (984 ft) above ground level. It is located southeast of Lake Amadeus in the southwest corner of the Northern Territory, 88 km (55 mi) east-southeast of Uluru/Ayers Rock at the border of the vast Curtin Springs cattle station.

Mount Conner is a flat-topped and horseshoe-shaped inselberg, part of the same vast rocky substrate thought to be beneath Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/Olgas. It can easily be confused with Uluru, since it can be seen from the road to Uluru and Kata Tjuta, when approaching from Alice Springs. It was named Mount Conner by William Gosse in 1873 after M. L. Conner, a South Australian politician who assisted many of the early settlers in Australia. ©

Mount Conner, так же известная под именами Attila или Artilla. Высота горы 859 м над уровнем моря и только 300 м над уровнем почвы. Находится на юго-востоке от Улуру в 88 км. Гора имеет плоскую верхушку и подковообразную форму. Геологически - это такой же монолит, как Улуру и Ольгас. Попасть ближе к горе можно - на джипе по грунтовке или на верблюдах от ближайшей фермы. Дорог с покрытием там нет.

I love the contrast of the blue and the orange. That was well worth visiting. Love you icon, by the way :)

Hi, Beth. That looks like some of the desert of the southwest US with the red sand/dirt and scrub sage. The photos are so beautiful. Have you been to Uluru?

Hi Judy. No, I have not been to Uluru but heard all about it! I have hardly been anywhere, and me with a gypsy spirit in my youth :(

I loved the picture of the Craters which Elle posted. I didn't know the country was so much desert! I'd love to see it in person. Anyone who gets lost out there isn't going to survive long even if they find one of the streams and oasis' Elle posted photos of. That's a harsh desert!

It just rises up out of the desert ... out of nothing. Fascinating!

I feel like I'm on vacation with you traveling to Uluru.

А мы ее в пасмурную погоду смотрели, совсем не такое было впечатление.

А мне оба раза почти повезло, было более-менее ясно, хотя и не сказать что "кристально-прозрачно". :) Очень хочется до этой горы добраться поснимать вблизи.
