Devil's
Marbles
Located
near Wauchope
which is
114km south
of Tennant
Creek are
a spectacular
mass of
boulders,
up to 7
metres in
diameter,
piled one
upon the
other called
"The Devils
Marbles".
Aboriginal
legend says
that these
giant granite
boulders,
some in
nearly perfect
spheres,
are eggs
laid by
the mythical
Rainbow
Serpent.
Camping
facilities,
including
toilets
and barbecue
areas are
available.
'The
Dot'
This 1930s
goldmine
can still
be seen
in its original
form; solar
panels enable
the shaft
to be lit
for nightly
tours and
the starlight
sky makes
a perfect
backdrop
for a campfire,bush
yarns and
billy tea.
'Bush Tucker'
tours are
operated
by the women
of the Mungar
Mungar tribe,
who escort
visitors
on a hunt
for traditional
food and
medicine.
