37. Davenport Ranges & Devils Marbles


DAVENPORT MARSHMELLOWS
By now we had passed over the tropic of Capricorn & finally the nights were no longer freezing. 

DEVILS MARBLES
This was a great stop. So many times you have to walk, trek or scramble to get to the place of interest. Whilst that is often rewarding it was nice to simply pull up & walk straight into this reserve. The heat was really building, the whole area was buzzing with insects & lizards were more prominent.
DEVILS MARBLES & ANTMOUNDS
There are several outcrops of the marbles. Aboriginal legend is that these were the eggs of the great rainbow serpent. The area is also littered with large termite mounds.
