First written record of the name is in the 1870's - an engineer on The Overland Telegraph Line describes this amazing area concluding - "in fact they were called The Devils's Marbles". So no definitive answer. Summising though; the early adventurers and travellers all approached from the South following 'The Track'. Travelling across featureless flood plain they would have seen a small hill range ahead for two or three days but would have no idea what they were about to encounter until passing through the first hill and suddenly being confronted with some mind-blowing geolical formations. Massive blocks and balls of granite measuring many metres and weighing hundreds of tonnes apparently balancing high up on other rocks. It would seem to them to be totally un-natural and indeed Super-natural. Thus The Devils ... (To use God's name would be blasphemy) Marbles (because so many were so round)
