Meet the Devil’s…
Yeah, we were fit enough to travel – took a while to get over the cold. The saying “comes 3 days, stays 3 days and goes 3 days” as well as “it takes one week with medications and 7 days without” was true.
We travelled north and our first stop was at the Devils Marbles around 100km south of Tennant Creek. This area contains of several rocks which look like marbles – some even staying on top of each other. There are no real marked ways so you can explore them on your own and mark your own track. You could even climb some to get the hands-on feeling.
Before driving to Tennant Creek we decided to make the side trip into
the Davenport National Park. We had planned this trip but were unsure due to the rain but the (local) people said they haven’t seen rain for some time so the dirt road should be in the normal condition. And it was – quite corrugated and stony but not muddy. We arrived at the Old Police Waterhole and could have gone for a swim but it was too cold and windy. We just walked a little bit along the waterhole.
In Tennant Creek we had a look at the little sister of Devils Marbles the Devils Pebbles. This area features a lot of little stones some placed on top of each others but not as dominant as the marbles. Most didn’t had the circular shape.
Then we headed via Daly Waters to Cape Crawford – it was time for the Savannah Way again.
Until next time,
Tom and Anja
