Devils Marbles Travel Information

The Devil’s Marbles are a collection of round, granite boulders - up to 4m high - that have formed over millions of years. Their Aboriginal name is Karwekarlwe, and the native Anangu people believe that the marbles are rainbow serpents’ eggs that were laid during the dreamtime period. Many of the marbles are cracking due to the vast temperature changes in the area that range from sub-zero at night to over 40°C in the daytime. The marbles are best viewed at sunset, when the light catches the red iron minerals in the rock and produces a spectacular effect.
