Blue Swimmer Crabs In Tasmania...
Had an email with a Qantas Freight tracking number on it and it was for delivery to Devonport today, checked out the Qantas Freight through the tracking number on and off during the morning to see an item was received at Adelaide Airport at 6:18 am this morning and it was manifested not long after.. Checked again a couple of hours later to see the item had arrived in Melbourne at 1:00 pm. Checked again later to find it was on it way to Tassie and due here at 5:05 pm. Once at the airport I found it to be an esky that had a total weight of 23 kgs.. Near killed myself carrying it out to the car. Once home I opened it up to find a heap of fresh Sth Australian Blue Swimmer crabs in it, there was 30 of them all had ice bottles paked in with them. It was sent to me from a one of many friends I have made on a SA fishing site.. Could not believe his kindness in sending these over for me and my wife to have a feed on.
So 'Santa Bill" came to Tassie... :thumbsup:
cheers

One of the best things about summer in WA - Crabbing.
Scoop net and a tub would find you a feed.
