Karlu Karlu is the Aboriginal name for the Devils Marbles. Over the last 1600 million years (give or take) a huge granite slab with fault lines through it has eroded into slabs that have weathered into the smooth round ‘marbles’ we see today. They are up to 7m in diameter. OR they could be eggs laid Aby the Rainbow Serpent. Can’t be sure.

They are right next to the Stuart Highway, and require no increase in heart rate to wander through. Hence, they are a popular spot to stop. Many wear thongs.
As I’m going for the marble theory, it really is an impressive bit of nature. The angles of repose are extraordinary!

And where there’s rocks, there’s children. If they can’t throw them, they’ll roll them.

There are literally hundreds of these boulders strewn over a large area, and I might have taken just as many photos! So I’ve had to be quite ruthless in choosing just a few for you. This one had to go up.

And the trophy shot.

But maybe they are eggs?
