22.01.2022 Look at those beautiful Dingoes When visiting Central Australia, it's likely that you might see a few Dingoes roaming about the bush. How can you tell its a dingo? Look out for its golden or ginger coat, white markings on their chests, tail tips and feetdescribed as socks. Did you know that Dingoes have owl like abilities, and that they can turn their heads almost 180 degrees in each direction ... The @alicespringsdesertpark has a Dingo enclosure, where you can learn about these beautiful creatures 7 days a week. Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled when exploring the #RedCentreNT, and please do not be tempted to feed any animals if you do see them on your travels! It helps keep wild animals, wild Img via IG / @siri.omberg See more

12.01.2022 Did you know that some people in Central Australia live in underground in caves? Coober Pedy is located 700km south of Alice Springs, and many of its residents have taken to a life underground to escape the hot summer temperatures. This is Crocodile Harry's. Here's what @mish.pich had to say about her visit "Our visit was a dream come true, for anyone that is crazy about the hippie lifestyle like me this place is super COOL! Harry is an ex solider who emigrated to Australi...a after the war. Legend has it ‘Crocodile Harry’ was the inspiration for the famous movie Crocodile Dundee This sleepy little hole is a popular tourist spot that has been preserved by the locals and turned into a museum. There is no staff managing the place just a small honesty box asking for a small administration charge. We had plenty of time to look around at the graffiti on the wall which was super cool but the weird female underwear hanging off the wall a little ‘different’ Cool spot and one not to miss!"
