Kunjarra (Devils Pebbles)
Kunjarra
A cluster of granite boulders in the wilderness north-west of town, like miniature Devil’s Marbles. It is quiet and almost empty, and locals come here to watch the sunset.
Kunjarra lies about 15 km north-west of Tennant Creek. From the Stuart Highway, drive about 11 km north, turn onto a dirt road and continue for about 6 km. Here, granite has weathered into boulders of all sizes scattered across the orange-red grassland. It is smaller than Karlu Karlu (the Devils Marbles), but almost no one comes, and the light at dusk is the most beautiful. Kunjarra is a sacred site for Warumungu women, so please follow the signs and do not climb on or move the stones. The dirt road is passable for ordinary vehicles in the dry season but can become muddy after rain. There are no facilities, so bring water and return before dark.
