Description

Mount Conner (Attila or Artilla) is a non-volcanic mesa in the southwestern Northern Territory, Australia. Wikidata records an elevation of 859 metres; its summit is flat and horseshoe-shaped. The mountain stands on privately owned Curtin Springs cattle station, about 100 km east of Uluru. The landowner partners with SEIT for 4WD visits to the mountain area and salt lakes. The verified operator itinerary includes sunset views and dinner, but does not promise an ascent onto the mesa. Road travellers also describe viewing the mountain from the Lasseter Highway lookout; that visit does not provide access to the mountain property.

Climbing Experiences

These sources document visits to the Mount Conner area and its lookout. The operator video introduces its tour, while traveller videos and a travelogue provide road-trip context. Australia So Much to See describes walking over loose sand near the parking area for views of the mesa and salt lake. Viewing the mountain should not be confused with summiting it; current tour arrangements should be checked with the operator.
