| Australia - from Curin Springs to stuart Hwy |
Mt Conner is the least-known and most easterly of central Australia's giant
monoliths. It's flat-topped and horseshoe-shaped and reaches to 760 m above
sea level. Its lower 150 m are covered by a talus. The distant, shimmering
purple table-top mesa of Mount Conner is a marvelous sight. It is a significant
sacred site for the aborigines who know it as Atila, the ice-man who brings
the cold eastern winds to Uluru.
After Mulga Park, the road which goes along the Northern Territory/South Australia
border line took us to different sceneries: the wavy red sand plains were
to give way to the flat gibber plains.
