Tasmania has the largest freshwater crayfish in the world, and they can grow up to a metre in length, with claws that could cut a person’s hand off. You can go out on a research trip with the world’s expert on these endangered creatures, Todd Walsh, helping him catch and tag the incredible invertebrates. Day trips generally leave from Ulverstone.
