Impressive site visit (Devils Marbles Cons Res, NT - 28/09)

The Devils Marbles Reserve is an amazing site along the Stuart Highway. The
traditional name for this reserve is Karlu Karlu. Driving hundreds of
kilometres through the flat desert and then seeing these massive boulders of
granite lying on each other is pretty impressive. We stayed over night on
the campsite of the reserve with many other travellers.

Dot-Painting- Workshop (Alice Springs - 17/9)

Before leaving Alice Springs I had the chance to take part in a dot painting
workshop in the Desert Park.
Dotpainting is orginally from Central Australia and the art itself is just
around 40 years old. In former time most of the paintings were done with a
stick on the ground to show the "dreamtime stories". There are of course a
lot of rock paintings too. When looking on a dot painting you have an aerial
view. The elder people would explain in there drawing where there are
waterholes, plants to collect and animals to hunt.
