We Have Yabbies In Our Pond

[@markcochran7213]

Beautiful place Kira....family time is always good 👍....as Spock said...live long and prosper 🙌 ✨ ❤ 🙏

[@KIRALYW]

My youngest gets nicknamed Spock by his mates. I love family time, it’s rare now they are all adults.

[@carolynnowak3823]

That pond will keep the whole family entertained including Ollie! Have fun.❤️

[@KIRALYW]

I reckon you might be right. 😁

[@sutherngirrl7590]

Those look more like 🦞 lobsters than crawdads. Yabbies? I like that. When you said, oh look a spider, I thought WOW 😳 Everything is HUGE over there!

[@KIRALYW]

Loads of spiders here. It’s best to get over that fear.

@@kilburn1313 Back in the early 90’s I nearly face planted into one on a walking track in the Daintree Rainforest. They are mutant sized up there. Future husband grabbed me just in time & pulled me back. I married my hero & been with him ever since. I have another story about Coopers Creek & that story is made of nightmares. Imagine waking up to screams as all 20 campsites woke up to half a dozen huntsmans on top of their tents & swags. When you stepped outside there were 100’s marching out of the bush you were using as a toilet by digging a hole… bush Dunny. I’m not exaggerating either. We packed our shit up erratically & not like the usual Virgo with OCD who packs like it’s Testris… nup. When we got to Maccas in Gunns Gully for a toilet break, there were still spiders clinging to the outside of the car. This was the only time I went bush camping with the kids without my husband. Never again. 🙅🏽‍♀️

@@KIRALYW That's funny, we are taking our caravan (30 year old, 15 foot) over to Streaky Bay & surrounds, 6 hours west from home for 10 days next week & hope to have a great time,

[@KIRALYW]

@@kilburn1313 oh mate that sounds like bliss. Enjoy those white sands. SA has some of the most beautiful coastline for caravans. I follow Trip In A Van on KZbin. A young Aussie family doing life in a caravan. Modern day Leyland Brothers I call them. They give you great tips on great camping spots. That’s how I’ve seen the SA coastline mostly is through their channel. I visited SA when I was a kid but plan on getting back there soon, kinder the way you are. Have the best time connecting with nature.

Your attitude/demeanor/"light" truly is infectious and puts a smile on my face. Thank you for bringing a feeling of joy and positivity to my life through your work. It's a great quality of your. 1luv friend

[@KIRALYW]

Let there be more light minded people in the world. ✨ That wasn’t a typo either. 💗 Thankyou for one of the most amazing compliments I think anyone has ever said to me. That was appreciated & heart felt, brother. Fly high Mr Seagull.

[@stevenseagull9683]

@@KIRALYW welll I'm extremely glad to know that you appreciated that comment. And honestly I need all the positive people/reinforcement/energy I can find right now. Health wise I'm not doing the best and am slightly worried to be honest. So your kind words are a vibrant light n the dark that I'm traversing at the moment. Will definitely make sure I stay around to watch your vids, and hope we can become friends/acquaintances/positive parts of each others lives...(as much if friends as you can b through the YT comment sections) lol. Thank you really for being a kind, loving soul. I noticed/felt it though your videos immediately. 1luv to you and yours 🧡

[@KIRALYW]

@@stevenseagull9683 I am very familiar with that darkness that surrounds you. It was in those moments, I discovered just how strong my inner light was. Human heart connections, like the one we are having, is how things are meant to be with one another. When one is down, the other lifts them up. This is how our brothers & sisters raise each other’s vibration of love energy. Nature is what made me realise all this. Let me share the nature around me with you to calm you. This is why I made this channel.

[@stevenseagull9683]

@@KIRALYW you truly are speaking to a deeper, primal feeling inside me....it feels like I can feel the words write inside my chest. And I truly desire/need/appreciate that feeling. And quite honestly not sure if/when the last time was that I have experienced this. I hope you know, honestly, how truly grateful I am to have randomly come across such a beautiful soul as yourself on this random Thursday morning at 430 am my time. Please don't leave me friend, as I appreciate you already, more than I could even explain at this time. Again, thank you for being such a kind hearted soul. I hope you receive all the blessings and love that you could possibly want/need Again, thank you for your words l, they mean more to me at this point n my life than I can explain to you. Take care you beautiful soul ❤

[@KIRALYW]

Where I come from… we don’t leave family behind. I am blessed to have found you too, brother. 🤙🏽

[@akashazza9994]

We call them crawldads in America. We have them in our creek on our property. Great video. 🤣

[@KIRALYW]

G’day Luv. Bout to head to bed. Cannot get the dog inside, he is outside chasing possums or rabbits, probably both. Comes to bed exhausted without needing a walk these days. Loves it down here, we all do.

[@annieis300]

That is so cool... I've never heard of yabbies :)

[@KIRALYW]

I popped a description about them from the web in the description box. You learned something today, & I learned they were related to crayfish.

[@RonHelton]

Those are the same shape as the crawdads that we have here, just much bigger. The ones here are a reddish-brown in color. When it rains a lot here in the spring and my drainage ditch fills up with water, then the crawdads emerge out of their tunnels. Pretty strange. I ate some boiled ones in Louisiana once, they tasted like dirt. LOL I think the ones you have there are a lot more colorful. ; )

[@KIRALYW]

You need to soak them in fresh water first to get rid of the mud.

[@RonHelton]

@@KIRALYW I think the restaurant might have done the opposite. I think they soaked them in mud. lol

[@KIRALYW]

@@RonHelton muddy hell LOL 😂

[@tazmod7272]

We have those critters in Oregon.

[@KIRALYW]

You ever eaten any? I can’t eat any kind of shellfish. It’s very ‘explosive’ for me the next day, if ya know what I mean. Hubby & the kids are keen to try them out.

[@tazmod7272]

@@KIRALYW : Yes. I call them miniature lobsters. I like all kind of water food.

[@celineloveslight2085]

they look like lobsters...just a different color....no swimming in the pond!!!

[@KIRALYW]

Ollie loves swimming in the pond. Won’t go near the pool though.
