Set off back along Stuart Hwy and the plan today is to beat the Grey Nomads to a spot at Devil’s Marbles overnight camp!
Charlie’s random comment of the day..”Daddy, I want to play mini-golf..”
We stop at the infamous Barrow Creek Hotel along the way and check out an original telegraph station there, built in 1872.
Next stop is Central Mount Stuart, which is where John McDouall Stuart decided was the centrepoint of Australia (think the east/west bit is debatable).
Got into Devil’s Marbles campsite mid arvo, a spot next to the last firepit (woohoo). Then spent some time checking out the “marbles”. Didn’t realise they covered such a large area. Wandered up and over the clump nearest to camp for awhile, then back at sunset to get some sunlit pics of these granite boulders that have eroded over time to form ball type shapes balancing on each other.
A lone dingo was roaming around our campsite, which made for a scary trip to the pit toilet in the night!
Just had to add that our cheese stuffed damper complemented our spag bol perfectly....
