Yabby Catching at Somersby Falls

I had this memory of visiting my brother in Coonamble years ago (just in the middle of no-where..) and he caught yabbies. They were de-lish! Steve took this awesome pic of one up at Somersby falls on the way to Nannies house, so we had a go at catching some.

 (Steve's awesome pics at the end)

We used sheeps kidneys on a string and tried to lure them out.

 First catch!! (ahem... only catch)

 We set up a few strings on sticks by the plunge holes. Really strange rock formations that all of a sudden have deep deep holes in the rocks.

Best part... getting stuck in the mud :)


Pics by Steve the previous week at Somersby Falls:
Yabbies are small and would fit in the palm of your hand, so I'm not sure if there are some mutant yabbies there, or this is just a really cool close up!

June School hols - environment day

The kids loved the local Environment day fete.. fair.. thing. They spend ages drumming with a man on his stall.. which was a bit embarrassing as we had to buy something after :) haha

They both LOVED helping on the wildlife stall. Lucas has an injured baby possom in that woolly pouch and Riley ofcourse, has a blue tongue lizard :)

They made their own milkshakes by bike power and somehow I ended up minding a fermented product stall while she went for lunch. Random but happy.

Lots of things to see..

We always end up at the park and getting stuck into some mess.

They made a really good cubby house at the end of the driveway. We later found spray paint, pen knives and other contraband items inside. Boys being boys eh?
