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.
