Leaving Renner Springs we headed for the Devils Marbles for an overnight stay. We stopped off for the information centre which was on Battery Hill, where the museum preserves relics from the Barkly region's pioneering days . We then headed for the Barkly region the home to the incredible Karula Karula (Devils Marbles) large granite boulders. They were scattered across a wide and shallow valley and stood out spectacularly against the rolling hills and level plains of the Barkly Region. It was just a wonderful place. We climbed the boulders and witnessed a spectacular sunset. We could hear the dingoes howling, but couldn't see any.
