Mount Conner (Artilla)
Artilla
A flat-topped mesa often mistaken for Uluru on the way there, rising about 300 m above the plain; four-wheel-drive tours take visitors to the top.
Artilla (Mount Conner) is a flat-topped sandstone mesa within Curtin Springs station, about 100 km from Yulara. Drivers heading to Uluru from Alice Springs on the Lasseter Highway can see it from a lookout stop, and many first-time visitors mistake it for Uluru, so locals jokingly call it 'Fool's Uluru'. The mountain sits on private pastoral land, so you cannot climb it on your own. Half-day and full-day four-wheel-drive tours from Yulara enter the station, take visitors to the summit for sunset, and show salt lakes and station life.
