I am unsure of species but possibly P. barbata
From tip of nose to about where the tail starts was very approx 140mm long. The tail was approx 1.5 times its body length.
It was digging the hole when I came across it in the middle of the path (2nd photo). It eyeballed me for a bit then scampered into the vegetation.
There were a few similar holes along the sandy parts of the path between the lookout & the salt-pan area.

I'm scanning family photo's and found this on one of our holidays.
I distinctly remember thinking it must be a painted dragon it was so colourful 😉

Date and location are a bit of a guess I'm sorry. Arkaroola is a big place! But it was on the rocks up the side of a water hole near a camp/picnic area.

If I find better photo's, or dates/locations I'll update.
