Reserve Photo: Reserve "Devil's balls"

114 km from the town of Tennant Creek (Northern Territory) is enigmatic Reserve "Devil's balls" – a collection of huge round granite boulders, scattered in disarray wide and shallow valley. Granite, which comprises the Devil's Balls, formed millions of years ago as a result of solidification of magma on the earth's surface. And then business was entered by water and wind over millennia visacash amazing shape stones. Due to the sharp difference of day and night temperatures in Central Australia, boulders expand and contract during the day. Sometimes this leads to the fact that they crumble and even fall apart.

The local aborigines call these oval stones "Carla, Carla" - dangerously balancing on each other, they are sacred to the indigenous people of Central Australia. People from the tribe "citati" I believe that these boulders – nothing like the eggs mystical rainbow snake, the progenitor of mankind. There are other stories about the creation of the world, only part of which natives can explain to the uninitiated. Despite the fact that over time many ceremonies and rituals associated with Devilish Balls were lost, this place still has great significance for aboriginal people and is considered one of the oldest religious sites in the world.

In 1953 one of the Devil's Balls was taken to Alice springs to create a monument to the memory of John Flynn, founder of the Royal life "Flying Doctor". Then it was thought that this would perpetuate his connection with the Australian Outback, but later began to have serious debates about this, because the stone was taken from the sacred to the aboriginal places without their permission. Only in the late 1990s, the stone is cleaned and returned to the original location. And on the grave Flynn has established similar, given by people from the tribe "arrernte".

In 2008 Conservation Service Parks and Wildlife service of the Northern Territory was returned to the territory of the "Devil's balls" into the possession of the indigenous inhabitants of these places, however, the reserve is under the joint control of the Service and representatives of aboriginal communities.

Today, the reserve all year round visited by thousands of tourists due to its accessibility and well-developed infrastructure: on the territory there are several Hiking trails, information boards, organized picnic areas. From may to October, Park Rangers hosts various events and performances, attracting visitors from all over the country and other parts of the world.
