Redclaw Yabby (beside Russ's foot!)
Yesterday we drove out to Springsure through farmland which was nice-it all seems so civilised now after the country we drove through to get here. Springsure is in the central highlands and after a look around town we drove out to a few lookouts which gave great views of the area. On the way into town, I saw a big rock that looked like the Virgin Mary in an alcove. I hadn't read the local info, but that's what they promote it as-I was pretty pleased with myself for spotting the likeness!

We drove on through a couple of stations and visited Wills grave and the site of a massacre (19 men women and children were killed by aboriginals) then back to the park. Russ did a bit of fishing and checked our yabby pots, I relaxed in the airconditioning as it was round 36c.

Yesterday we got 30 good sized yabbies, today we got about 25 but a few were very little. Last night we had a really nice redclaw pasta and I plan to try a curry with the next lot. We have booked a few extra nights so we'll freeze the next catches for later on. It's been lots of fun finding out what they like to eat-avocado is the hands down (claws down?) favourite so far with mandarine the next then pumpkin.
