Devil's Marbles to Daly Waters

In the morning, we got out of the car before it could heat up too much. Had some quick breakfast before exploring the rocks a bit more. On the way out we saw the two most famous ones that look so impossibly balanced. The whole place was a lot nicer once all of the people with their huge caravans pulled out. After that we continued north through Tennant Creek and Three Waters, stopping only for gas.

We reached Daly Waters around 2 or 3, clearly too early to stop, but we wanted to check out this historic bush pub. The walls and ceiling beams are all covered in memorabilia, including a large number of ID's, international money, and articles of clothing. After a beer or two and an envious glance at the pool, we knew we had to stay the night. The pub is known for being a stopping point for backpackers and the like, so we were hoping it would fill up with something other than the families and grey-nomads we found.
