Hi Jo, these are land yabbies, smaller than you will find in the creeks and rivers, we also have them here in Cockatoo, but not as much as in Upwey. They are apparently quite common....
We live on what was an underground watercourse, that has since dried up from the drought, (I think this is why I lost so many of my big treeferns, as they were used to the constant water supply).So I guess we may see more the yabbies too as they start needing to collect more water for themselves.....

Oh for a tropical downpour!! we did have a bit of heavy rain for about two hours on - sunday or monday - can't remember which one, added a 100 or so litres to all of the tanks each, so that helped.
Going out now to plant my Jacobean lilies, before its too late.....
