Devils Marbles or Karlu Karlu
About Devils Marbles or Karlu Karlu
The Devils Marbles are known as Karlu Karlu in all four local Aboriginal languages. See kids, the learning has already begun! This remarkable site is a sacred place to Aboriginal traditional owners, and is simply breathtaking if you want to experience some stunning Australian landscapes.
Karlu Karlu means "round boulders", and these massive boulders have become an internationally recognised symbol of the Aussie outback. If you seem them in the morning or the evening, make sure you have your camera as the sun highlights their deep red colour!
An enigmatic place of breathtaking scenic beauty, the precarious piles of huge granite boulders wide open skies and golden sunlight make Karlu Karlu an unforgettable place to visit.
Traditional Owners maintain their responsibilities for the site, an unbroken tradition that has continued since creation time. In a historic ceremony held here on the 27th October 2008 ownership of the Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve was officially given back to the site’s Traditional Owners.
An easy short (15 minutes return) self guided walk commences from the carpark on the western side of the road (the day use area) with signs explaining the formation of the 'marbles'.
Visitors can wander around the site along a network of informal walking tracks. Keep an eye out for wildlife too!
