Protecting Habitat for The Giant Freshwater Crayfish
Snuff Puppets is collaborating with the Bob Brown Foundation to build an enormous giant freshwater lobster puppet. It will thrill Astacopsis gouldi’s friends and terrorise its enemies!
One or two of us at Lutaralipina might be helping out… We can’t wait till it hits the streets.
Another beer ad featuring the Giant Freshwater Crayfish. I enjoy a Boag’s (or three) as much as anyone, and it is a nice sentiment -but Boag’s, please put your money where your mouth is and help protect Astacopsis gouldi. There is a Recovery plan without a budget, maybe it needs a corporate kick starter…?
Who would have thought that Astacopsis gouldi would have such a high voice? Moo Brew -you guys rock.
Todd Walsh and a friend with just one claw made a big media splash during the Tarkine Bioblitz.

The Australian Land Conservancy Alliance 2017 National Private Land Conservation Conference in Hobart was a fantastic event. The Main topic was “valuing nature” in all its forms, from the bush to the balance sheet. We heard from and spoke to many people expert in their field and passionate about conservation. We are all really really looking forward to next year’s conference in Brisbane!
