The Crablands
The Crablands is a place that we as Coasters often take for granted, we treat it as a pathway to get to the fish; we trapse across it, quad bike through it, run the dog over it, drive across it...... and miss an entire universe of ecological wonder and drama along the way. Science calls it the inter-tidal zone, but the Crablands is a much more apt description because it is a badlands, full of these tiny creatures eeking out their living in an ever-changing environment where there is no guarantee of life from one moment to the next.

The Crablands
Low-tide landscapes...
Where all the drama happens
There are CRABS! of course
Big ones, tiny ones, funny looking ones...
There are sign of other creatures living out on the Crablands too
Who knows what they all are, but it is fascinating!
The larger predators add another layer of drama
It is a dangerous place to try to live...
