Kunjarra/The Pebbles is an outcrop of granite boulders located 11 km north of Tennant Creek. Known to the Warumungu Aboriginal people as Kunjarra/The pebbles are a sacred site where the dancing and healing rites of the Munga Munga dreaming take place.

It is open for visitor day use only. Overnight camping is not permitted. A walking track winds around the site. There are currently no toilets available.

Access is just past the Telegraph Station for those travelling north on the Stuart Highway, and there is 6 kms of unsealed road so high clearance vehicles are recommended.
