Karlu Karlu / Devils Marbles
This morning we packed up and headed into Alice Springs to
refuel before heading north. We stopped
on the Stuart Highway at the John McDouall Stuart memorial as this is the
explorer Hayden is researching for history.
We then drove onto Karlu Karlu – Devils Marbles Conservation
Reserve.

These are beautiful and majestic! The owners of the land and N.T. Parks and Wildlife request that people do not climb on the boulders; a fair request that is unfortunately largely ignored. I spent some time wandering between the boulders and photographing them. It is once again quite amazing how much the colour appears to change in different lights. This is a lovely sight, but the way it is treated by people is extremely disappointing – there were people all over the boulders, rubbish all over the place and people who were quite comfortable declaring that they had no intention of paying the camping fees ($3.30 per adult, $1.60 per child or $7.70 per family per night – very affordable) – if this is the way places like this are treated they will end up closed with none of us being able to access them – Think people, please.
