Lasseter Highway is a fully sealed 244 km (152 mi) highway in the Northern Territory of Australia.[1] It connects Yulara, Kata Tjuta and Uluru east to the Stuart Highway at Erldunda.[2] 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.[3]
