Mount Conner (also known as '''Attila''' or '''Artilla'''), reaching to 859 m1 (2,500 ft) above sea level and to 300 m (985 ft) above ground level, is located southeast of Lake Amadeus in the southwest corner of the Northern Territory , 100 km east of Uluru at the border of the vast Curtin Springs Cattle Station . Mount Conner is a flat-topped and horseshoe-shaped mountain and 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 Australia n politician2 who assisted many of the early settlers in Australia. The formation is also confused with the Mashed Potato sculpture from the movie Close Encounters Of The Third Kind - that is in fact the Devils Tower in Wyoming . REFERENCES |
