Devils Marbles 1

There isn’t one lot of ‘Devils Marbles’ on the site (Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve) ... there are hundreds! I tried a couple of different angles to show the different formations.

Taken our road trip from Melbourne to Darwin via the Great Ocean Road and the red centre on my new DSLR (Nikon D90 – Tamron 17-50mm 2.8).


Wikipedia has a good summary on the process of how the rocks were formed. Basically, they’re not separate rocks, but the result of millions of years of erosion (which also explains the texture on them). So, there aren’t just one set of Devils Marbles – but many! It’s really incredible! See my other Devils Marbles pic to contrast the differences…

    Again v.cool work. How weird are these rock formations? just a bunch of massive rocks one on top of the other. Is there any explanation of how they may be formed?

    Thanks again James!

    I’m going there soon. I want to take a whole bunch of pics

    You’ll certainly find a lot of inspiration, as there are many rock formations at the Marbles to choose from. Good luck!
