Yes, more rocks!

DEVILS MARBLES Today we left Alice Springs and drove through to Tennant Creek, 509km's up the Stuart Highway. A nice easy drive, surprisingly the scenery does change along the way with varying vegetation but lots of termite nests. We stopped for lunch at Wycliffe Well the home of UFO's. Devils Marbles are granite rocks over 1700 million years old and in this one spot there are a lot of these outcrops just beside the highway.
This gives you bit of an idea of the size, the rock has a clean cut like it has been cut with a knife. Don't you just love the fly net - god bless the hundreds of them!
Thank goodness for gravity.
