Deceased crayfish found among sedges at Eucumbene. Water level seems to have dropped a bit.

Genus Euastacus, but further resolution for me is tricky as I am not familiar with what species are present around Eucumbene.

a very large spiny crayfish - probably Euastacus reiki from the samples in the upper Murrumbidgee but not many confirmed specimens from this area.
