Devil’s Pool Of Australia

The Devil’s Pools are home to a Yidinji Indigenous Legend, which states how the Babinda Boulders were formed.

The tale is about Oolana, a young woman from the Yindinji Tribe. After being promised to a respected tribal elder, she met a handsome young warrior called Dyga from another tribe and fell in love. They fled their tribes and escaped into the wilderness to continue their affair. Elders searched for them and they were captured. Dyga was dragged away. Oolana escaped and was in despair. She threw herself into the Devil’s Pools and her anguished cries turned into the pools torrents.

Locals believe that Oolana’s spirits still haunts the Devils Pools, pulling young men to their untimely deaths.
