THE LASSETER HIGHWAY This highway that joins the Stuart Hgy with the Uluru National Park has a lot to of visual magic. Lasseter Highway is a fully sealed 244 kilometre highway in the Northern Territory of Australia. It connects Yulara, Kata Tjuta and Uluru east to the Stuart Highway. The highway is named after Lewis Hubert (Harold Bell) Lasseter, who claimed to have discovered a fabulously rich gold reef (Lasseter's Reef) west of Kata Tjuta. The highway has some great scenery and contrasts. The highlight is the magnificent Mount Conner. The precursor to the main Uluru event. Small roadside hamlets and sand dunes are the only distractions on this stretch of road.
