Devils Marbles is called Karlu Karlu by Aborigines. Huge boulders, most of them round, are a sight to behold, 393 km north of Alice Springs and 114 km south of the town of Tennant Creek.. The property was returned to the rightful owners in 2008, and the state leased it for 99 years and opened it to public visits.
These granite rocks look mysterious under the bright sun.
It was time to leave Alice Springs.. Our Next Stop would be Kakadu National Park, then Darwin. I was in the Britz office at 9am. In Australia there is an app called relocation. With this application, I rented the caravan almost for free again.
After completing the necessary procedures in half an hour, I bought a 7-meter long and 3.4-meter-high 6-seater Britz Frontier Mercedes motorhome, first Benjamin and then German girls Nathalie and Roumie. After buying it, we went to the market and did our road shopping.. After stopping by our YHA hostel and getting our backpacks, we were ready to hit the road again.
There are dozens of caravans in the parking lot.. It’s a nice place with a nice view to camp, but we continued on our way because we had a long way to go.. Just before we set off, there was a dingo standing by the roadside.
We planned to camp at the small Mary Ann lake just outside the town of Threeways, but this beautiful place has to look elsewhere as camping is prohibited at night. we stayed. Using the trailer, Benjamin took a dirt road that the fire department had opened to put out the forest fires.. The road is very bad and not only suitable for our caravan, but also risky.
Except the main road and roadside camping areas, the insurance company does not pay for any damage that may happen to your car or accident on such dirt roads.

When I checked on Google Maps, I saw that the road continued for kilometers between bushes and was not suitable for camping.. Although I conveyed this to Ben, he continued to drive, telling us to keep going and there will definitely be a suitable place at the end of the road. conveyed in a way. Even though I explained, he didn’t want to listen to me much.. If it was up to him, we would use the caravan to look for a place for ourselves, perhaps on a rough dirt road that is at least 1 hour going and 1 hour away, to camp at night.
There was no need for all of this when it was dark.. At Ben’s insistence, we stopped at the paid trailer campsite, half an hour’s drive away.. It was $27 per night and an extra $5 for each person after the second person, this price included electricity.
We’d better switch to the free camp site. After consensus, Benjamin asked me for the key again and said that he would drive the car, and after half an hour, it was twenty. we arrived at the free rest area where many caravans were parked. We had lost at least 1 hour unnecessarily and had unnecessary tension.. Some of the campsites lit a fire and were chatting with other caravan drivers.
I cooked an Indian-style lentil dish with rice pilaf, and the girls themselves had potatoes with meatballs.. After playing the uno card game after dinner, it was time to sleep since it was 11 o’clock.
Girls suggested the wide bunk above the driver’s seat, I prepared the place where the dinner table was placed, my Hobit friend took the bed in the back.. Benjamin had said that he would sleep in the tent first, and then, since the girls’ area was large, he slept there in a sleeping bag at their invitation.. Now we had to rest and prepare ourselves for the next day’s long journey.
