Recommended to us by fellow travellers, Longreach Waterhole was not on our maps or signposted from the main road. Just outside of Elliott, it’s free style campsites provided a tranquil setting with many species of birds.

South of Tennant Creek we stopped to look at the Devil’s Marbles, or Karlu Karlu. A significant meeting and dreaming site for Kaytetye, Warumungu, Anmatyerr and Alyawarr people, these huge, rounded granite rocks have been shaped by rainwater over millions of years. Further to the north the smaller, granite Pebbles, or Kunjarra remain a special place for Warumungu.
