Karlu Karlu (Devils Marbles)

Hundreds of enormous, perfectly rounded granite boulders scattered across a shallow valley on the Stuart Highway, 105km south of Tennant Creek. The boulders — some stacked precariously — are sacred to the Kaytetye, Warumungu, Alyawarra, and Warlpiri people. At sunrise and sunset they glow a deep red-orange. The 2km walking trail circuits the main boulder field. Karlu Karlu is one of the most recognisable geological formations in Australia. The boulders — some 1.5 billion years old — have been perfectly spherical for millions of years.
