Cloud 9 – Day 6, Devils Marbles and Alice Springs

By a crazy impulse of motivation, our guide made us get up an hour before sunrise (fortunately, it was winter) so that we could watch the sunrise from the famous granite blocks of the Devils Marbles. The Devils Marbles are a special granite rock formation that gives the impression of giant balls resting on other rocks. These are actually one rock (the boulders and the rock on which they seemed to lay on), after the effect of erosion. Their particular shape gave them the name “Devils Marbles”.
