Mount Conner, Granite plateau summit in Northern Territory, Australia

Mount Conner rises 300 meters above the desert plains with a flat top and sedimentary rock layers visible along its steep sides.

Explorer William Gosse named the mountain after South Australian politician Mountifort Longfield Conner during his 1873 expedition through central Australia.

The Yankunytjatjara people name this mountain Atila, connecting it to ancestral stories of nyiṉya spirits that bring cold weather.

Visitors reach Mount Conner through the Lasseter Highway, located 75 kilometers southeast of Lake Amadeus within the Curtin Springs cattle station.

The mountain contains geological evidence of an ancient inland sea, with layers of conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones, and mudstones forming its structure.

Location: Northern Territory

Elevation above the sea: 859 m

GPS coordinates: -25.49407,131.89752
