As we drove
south the landscape got drier and drier and drier, and the trees were replaced
by low lying scrub and tussocks of grass. It was quite a long drive to the Devil’s
Marbles, just over 500km. We stayed in a camping area amongst the marble
mounds. We walked around and over some of the rocks before dinner. The marbles
are a significant place to the local Aboriginals. It is a very sacred place and
a dreaming site. They provided a very beautiful and peaceful setting in which
to camp. The howling of the dingoes at night was a reminder of how remote we
were. The next morning it was back in the car to travel the 400km to Alice
Springs.
