in Northern Territory, Central Australia
 Mount Conner, also known as Attila and Artilla,[1][2] and
occasionally found as Mount Connor, is an Australian
mountain located in the southwest corner of the Northern
Territory, 75 kilometres (47 mi) southeast of Lake Amadeus
at the border of the vast Curtin Springs cattle station.
It reaches to 859 metres (2,818 ft)[1] above sea level
and to 300 metres (984 ft) above ground level.
Mount Conner is a flat-topped and horseshoe-shaped
inselberg, part of the same vast rocky substrate thought
to be beneath Uluru/Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta/Olgas.
 It
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 South Australian politician M. L. Conner.[2] Soucre

building houses an art gallery showcasing the items
made by people from the bush community, such as paintings,
traditional wood carvings, and necklaces fashioned out
of nuts and seeds.
The roadhouse purchases artworks from the community
once a week. Artists can also stock up on artists materials
from there.

turn-over of artwork sold to the many tourists passing
by on their way to and from Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata
Tjuta.

On
the way Curtin Springs in Northern Territory, Central
Australia
Curtin
Springs is a working Cattle Station owned and operated
by the Severin family. The family took over the pastoral
lease 1956 and still live on and run the station today.
The family extend the unique hospitality that has made
them a legend in the NT. 
Peter
Severin opened his homestead as a key stop for passing
travellers on their way to Ayers Rock. They installed
petrol pumps and a small store to help Len Tuit start
tourism in the Ayres Rock area. Looking at the area
now it's hard to believe that the Severins only saw
6 people in their first year here. They have watched
the tourism industry grow ever since. 
Curtin
Springs caters for the needs of the passing traveller
by providing reasonable priced accommodation, free unpowered
camping, powered sites, a licensed pub, homestyle meals
and station tours. 
The
Severin family offer you a real taste of the outback,
with modern facilities and an atmosphere that people
come back for.
