The Devils Marbles and Wycliffe Well

This morning we left Alice at about 6am and drove straight to Wycliffe Well. This is a town famous for all of the stories of "alien landings/sightings". There wasnt really anything there other than a service station with an Alien Exhibit and a wall covered with newspaper articles. Including a rather interesting story about a sex crazed emu who is burning out lovers faster than trucks burn out tyres. We had a read of a bunch of the articles and notices quiet a few about pop star Robbie Williams, apparently he is UFO m.a.d and ended up buying a big property in the area to try and see the UFO's for himself. Not sure how it went though. There were alot of claims of aliens hanging out among the Devils Marbles too.

The devils marbles shocked me as I was expecting one, beautiful stack of ginormous marble-esque rocks. Which we did see! But there were countless stacks of marble-esque rocks over a huge spanse of land. They were magnificent! We clibed them and went into the middle to the cave like areas. They were such a wonderful sight.
