Comments

What a great way to spend a morning having camped at the Marbles Hotel the night before. Visiting the world renowned Devil's Marbles, we thought there was just one walk around the stones. Turns out there were four, so we tracked them all, but did roll Yakkula Walk and the Nurrku Loop together.
