The Devils Marbles are amongst the most famous Australian rocks, right up there with Uluru and the Olgas.
All guide books and brochures about the Australian Outback feature a picture of the Marbles. Or rather, of two of the marbles...
I wonder how many people are aware that the Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve is 1802 hectares in size, and that there are lots of marbles here.
The Devils Marbles That people might think of the Marbles as just those two huge rocks had never crossed my mind. Until my friend stood there in the reserve with an open mouth and went wow!
When she explained why she was so surprised it dawned on me... Of course! You never see anything else but that one famous picture, and there's rarely any useful information with it.

Devils Marbles Amazing Balancing Rock Formations Northern Territory Outback Australia Karlu Karlu
We called in to look at the Devils Marbles, on our way travelling north. I really enjoyed walking around there, and was more than just a bit surprised at the way some the rock formations are sitting. I think it is one of those places you just have to see for yourself, my thoughts were that it was an amazing place. There was no tourists around these natural wonders when we was there, which made the whole experience feel very remote.
I am amazed that a storm has not blown some of these boulders over, and am very happy that vandals have not stooped low enough to damage this place.
The Aboriginal name for this place is Karlu Karlu and it is of spiritual significance to them and is a Registered Sacred Site.
The Devils Marbles are in the Northern Territory, Australia, about 400 km north of Alice Springs

Devils Marbles - Northern Territory
The Devils Marbles camping area is a magical part of the outback where huge boulders pop out of the landscape as if having been placed there by a giant playing with marbles. The car park forms the camping area and although it is quite large, it pays to arrive early enough to get a nice spot to camp for the night. There are a number of drop toilets and covered picnic tables for use.
