Just discovered that the "yabby" that lives in the wetland of my youth is actually a freshwater crayfish endemic to only this little part of the world. Listed as vulnerable.
Glad we never ate them!
Also glad I have the opportunity to rehabilitate its local environment here.

If I imagine it’s July 7th instead of January, then it’s winter here Western Australia and Green-Veined Shell #orchids (Pterostylis scabra) are flowering. This orchid has two “ears” which extend above a fused hood, and a labellum that pokes out, like a tongue #biodiversity #ozplants #ozwild 🌿
