Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve

The Devil's Marbles Conservation Reserve got its name from a collection of gigantic rounded granite boulders called the Devils Marbles scattered in the site, across a wide, shallow valley. These naturally rounded and oval boulders were called Karlu Karlu by the local Aborigines and are precariously balanced on top of one another and are important to the local Aboriginal people as they are located in a traditional Aboriginal sacred site.

The Reserve is located near Wauchope, 114km south of Tennant Creek in Australia's Northern Territory. There is an important folklore of the Kaytetye people behind the origin of these boulders, who believe that the boulders are the eggs of the rainbow serpent. Though with passing time, the ceremonies and stories related to the Devil's Marbles have largely been lost, but the site still holds great importance to the tribe and may be considered to be among the oldest religious sites in the world.
Tourists can visit the Reserve all year round. The Devil's Marbles Conservation Reserve is easily accessible and has a network of pathways with information boards and a basic camping area, for the convenience of the visitors.
