Apparently it is mainly visitors driving up from Alice Springs who spot the mysterious Mount Conner, which appears on the horizon at some point during the long drive. After a surge of excitement and a flurry of photos, it eventually dawns on most of them that this rock actually looks quite different from Uluru s famous silhouette.
Enchanted by the idea of another big rock hiding out in the desert, I m keen to see Mount Conner for myself. There is, however, a hitch. Mount Conner is on private land. If you want to do more than admire it from a distance, you need to book on a tour, which is how if find myself in a four-wheel-drive with a guide, Brett, heading off on a desert day trip.
