I've seen documentaries about those crabs, Fidget. I think they were land crabs but the eggs still had to be laid in the sea but when they hatched made their way back to the land. Luckily our Cornish crabs stay in the sea.
Oh yes, land crabs everywhere. A friend of ours had a robber crab in her garden. He used to climb trees and break open coconuts. They called him hubcap. --because he was the size of a car hubcap.He used to hang around at barbies for easy pickings.

Backing on to the towans, its a wonder he's not got crabs.
No boiling over phew!
Felt like I was on Masterchef huge washing up bowl of windfalls to peel and cook, just glad I didn't have to make apple pies for 60.
Now deciding what to do with left over lamb, maybe I'll just copy Woody. Leek mash sounded nice.
On Christmas Island, we had baby red crabs in the bathroom,and thats up a flight of stairs.
