The scale of the walls and the wind far above add a sense of mystery and as the blue sky deepens and the great domes of the Olgas flush red, the tour retires to the sunset viewing area for complimentary champagne whilst watching the fantastic colour changes in the landscape.

ALL-DAY TOURS FROM ULURU |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mt. Conner Outback Experience (small group) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Mt. Conner, the third of the great monoliths, is 100 kms east of Uluru, on the western fringe of the vast cattle station, Curtin Springs.
As the tour follows the station's 4WD tracks, you will discover vast salt lakes that are remnants of ancient inland oceans, examine
fossilized remains of the oldest life forms on earth, and best of all, experience Australia's rugged outback. Circling Mt Connor, you'll be surprised to find a hidden side with a series of rugged gorges, a perfect haven for small populations of Red Kangaroos and Rock Wallabies. Because of the dams built for watering cattle, wildlife is more prevalent here than in the desert. The
4WD grinds and bounces its way to a high lookout giving view over the vast, arid desert
and on into South Australia. Before the sun sets, we reach the ruins of the first homestead. A hole in the sand hills and a pile of sandstone chimney blocks are all that remain, in what seems like the loneliest place in the world.
With the imposing Mt Conner changing colour in the background and a rusty windmill churning quietly,
you toast the sunset with complimentary champagne and wonder what it
would have been like to live in such a place.
As night falls, drive to Curtin Springs where in the kitchen built from parts of the old
homestead you'll
enjoy a three course dinner prepared by the station cook, before returning to Ayers Rock Resort. Included ~ 7 hour 4WD tour around Mt.Conner via Curtin Springs ~ An opportunity to see native animals in the wild ~ Vehicle based tour including stops at salt lakes, fossil site, lookout and ruins ~ Champagne sunset and dinner at the homestead ~ Tour departs from all Ayers Rock Resort accommodation Not Included Park entry ticket - see note beneath price panel Truly Ref 1004
