The
lasseter highway in the Northern Territory is a well-paved
highway compared to the Stuart highway that connects different
places such as Yulara, Kata Tjuta, and Uluru east to the Stuart
highway. The lasseter was named after the lasseter reef.
Lasseter was a man who believed he could walk from Alice Springs
to the West Australian goldfields. Lasseter claimed that during
his journey he has arrived in a desert and there was saved by an
Afghan camel who showed him the way to a surveyor. After that he
decided to name the gold reef THE LASSETER REEF. He then said
that the reef should be rich but in fact it was not. The story
became history and the place kept its name. He died and people
still know and still read about his story. |
