Fantastic, Bernie. Are the crabs really that ugly? How big are they?

Yes that is a fair idea of what they look like, the one I made is about a hand-span across.
You can have a look here Mud Crab | NSW Department of Primary Industries (http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/saltwater/sw-species/mud-crab).
Glad you like them.

Cheers

EEEEEUUUUUWWW!!! They could frighten Geiger's Alien.
Living in the mud, they must be absolutely delectable.

Yabbies are OK. When I was PhD student at LaTrobe, we paid some local kids fishing in the moat.
