"Is it the holidays yet?!" Waking up to your alarm mid-week in December like... 😴 Thorny Devils (also known as mountain devils or thorny lizards) are day-active, ant-eating reptiles that grow 20cm long and can live 20 years. When these cute critters locate a trail of ants they lick them up with their short, sticky tongue... scientists calculate that they can eat a thousand or more ants in a single meal 😮 ​ ​If you're visiting the Red Centre be sure to stop in at the @Alice_Springs_Reptile_Centre, where you can not only see a Thorny Devil up close, but also a number of other local animals!  ​ ​​Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @alice_springs_reptile_centre. ​ ​#SeeAustralia #RedCentreNT #HolidayHereThisYear

Wander through the ancient open-air rock art site at Nourlangie/Burrungkuy in #KakaduNationalPark ✨ The area of the impressively preserved Burrungkuy rock art site is the traditional homelands of the Bininj. Here you can follow the 1.5-kilometre trail through shaded rock shelters to view rock art spanning generations leading to an incredible vista of escarpment and open forest. Our tip? Go where the locals go to watch the sunset at Nawurlandja lookout, just a 10 minute drive from this location. Cheers for tagging #NTaustralia, @helloemilie!  ​ ​#SeeAustralia #TourismTopEnd #SeeKakadu #HolidayHereThisYear
