Devils Marbles

The Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve covers 1802 Ha and has bush camping facilities and many easy walks.

The majority of the Reserve is recognised as of great cultural importance to the Warrumungu, Kaiditch, Walpari and Alyawarre people. Many stories and traditions are associated with the area. Karlu Karlu's exact translation is round object.

The Devils Marbles or Karlu Karlu (the Kaytetye name), or Karlwe Karlwe (the Warrumungu name), is a unique granite rock formation located close to the Stuart Highway about 100km south of Tennant Creek and 393km north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.

They are the most spectacular landmark in the Barkly region.
