Need I say.
Need those two cans to wash that bad boy down.
It was caught 200 klms north of Broken Hill.
There was a huge storm up there and as I inspected the road condition i came across this fellow and his mates walking across the road, So I happened to sit there for a while and pluck them of the road as they tried to get to the other side.
My 55litre esky was full.

Sorry for the watering mouths.

Cheers Kev.

I hope you didn't exceed the bag limit or would it be classed as Road Kill

The boys caught one about 2/3 that size in the dam at Wiruna two months ago. They did not want to eat it so I threw it back.

The catch phrase is if you like yabbies come to the SPSP in April and try our dam.

Geez, I'd have started a fire alongside the road, boiled them up and had a few tinnies (not VB, though) to wash down lunch

Hi Kev,

Either that or their spacecraft crashed and you've just ate the remaining sole survivors
from a planet that had been been close to SN1987A.

Hey Gary those aliens underwent an autopsy and it was concluded that they met there fate by

1--- Scolding by a substance H20 at a very elevated level with a very high concentration of Sodium Chloride.

After the autopsy they just simply went into a waste disposal unit.

Cheers Kev.

Nice catch Kev

Those nippers look like they could easily remove a finger or two.
