00:22Okay, so I'm having a bit of a break from fishing today and I am on a mission. I'm on
00:29a mission
00:29to find the Leamington Blue Cray. It's listed as vulnerable, so it's going to be a little
00:37tricky to find. I have looked for it before and was unsuccessful, but I think this is
00:45the time. I think I'm going to be lucky. So I'm going on a little adventure today up in
00:49the rainforest and hopefully I find some.
01:01It feels good when you're walking down, but on the way up, it's not going to feel that
01:07great. Rainforest therapy. It feels good to be able to smell the fresh air though, because
01:19I stayed in Bangkok for a week and oh my god, their air quality is... you shouldn't be able
01:24to taste the air, but you can taste the air in Bangkok. So cool. Oh, look, I don't have
01:33that much energy, I feel like I could skip back now. Do you think that would hold me? Yeah,
01:38easy. It's like nature's swing. Oh, that's a thin branch. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, that's cool. Hang on.
02:00Nature's swing. It's a pretty neat steam bar. I've got way too much faith in this right now.
02:09Because if I fall, I'm going down this hill. Stay focused. Run a mission.
02:22I've got this song stuck in my head. And if I had my headphones, I'd be listening to it
02:28right now. It's that creepy song. It's like tiptoe through the window.
02:36I'm actually keeping my eye out for stinging metal, because for some reason, my brain has
02:43always wanted to like, just, I want to know what it feels like. Hang on. I actually feel
02:50like this could be it. I think it is. It's got like spikes all over it. Okay. Well, on the
02:58way back, I'm thinking just like, it's like when you were like a kid and you like licked
03:02the battery, like, you know how there was like those big batteries and you'd like stick them
03:06on your tongue just to feel a zap. I don't know. It was like, just kind of addictive.
03:10So you just kept on doing it. So that's what I'm doing on the way back. If we don't find
03:14any critters, or if we find critters, I'm still going to do it because I just feel like
03:19I haven't lived. No, no, it's a skink.
03:32One wrong step and right down there. Look at that. I don't know if it picks up how steep
03:38it is here, but it's steep. And last time I came here, it was pissing down with rain and
03:45it was just so sloshy. You had to like take your shoes off just to try and stay more on
03:50land. Do you know what I mean?
03:53Whee!
03:55Oh, it's not far off snapping, hey?
04:00Did you hear that?
04:08That did not sound great.
04:13Sometimes they're hiding underneath the rocks or like just at the edge of them, but you lift
04:17them and you just see them and then the sludge comes in. He's just here. I can see his little
04:20claw. Hang on. That's a really weird find. Look at that. That's a chlorobon.
04:29I don't know if you can see that. See the colour? The blue?
04:36Look at the baby. Right there. Do you see the little baby? He doesn't have colour to him.
04:39He's right there.
04:45Got it. Got it. Got it. I got a baby.
04:48Little spiny.
04:52Come on.
04:54How cool is that?
04:57It's tiny.
04:58Do you get a good shot?
05:02I'll go put him back now.
05:04I don't know if you can see the other ones.
05:06Back here.
05:07Oh, I see a big one. I see a big one.
05:10Put this baby back.
05:12There he goes.
05:14Okay, so this is how easy they are to blend in.
05:17So can you shine the camera here?
05:19Shine the camera. Put the camera here.
05:21See this rock right here?
05:23There is one underneath this rock.
05:26Ready?
05:26He's right in here.
05:30He's dug down.
05:32He's going to nip me for sure.
05:33Oh.
05:35These are going to...
05:36Ow!
05:37Bastard.
05:48Got him. Got him. Got him.
05:50Ha ha.
05:51Ow!
05:51Ow!
05:51Ow!
05:52Ow!
05:52Ow!
05:53Ow!
05:53Ow!
05:55It hurts!
05:57Okay, quick.
05:59Cause he's like a bit of a dick.
06:03He's not that blue.
06:04So the blue ones, like the bigger ones, are much more blue than this guy.
06:09Don't.
06:11Don't bite me.
06:13He's so pissed off.
06:15He's got me.
06:18He's not happy about being caught right now.
06:23Ow!
06:24Ah, dang it.
06:25I thought I got him.
06:28Got him.
06:29Look, look, look, look, look.
06:30Don't stress him out.
06:34I'm getting pretty good at catching these.
06:37The lemmington spiny cray.
06:40Right there.
06:41It's okay.
06:42Oh, there he goes.
06:44Alright, well, I'm going to leave him alone now.
06:47And I'm going to go try and find some big ones.
06:50But this is successful.
06:51Like, this is a successful day.
06:54There's heaps of babies around, which is like so good to see.
06:56I don't know if you can see them here.
06:58They blend in so well.
07:00One.
07:00Two.
07:02Three.
07:02There's one on this tiny little rock here next to this massive one.
07:04Oh, that's a big one.
07:09Cute.
07:11Is the most I've actually seen here.
07:14Which is really cool.
07:16Especially because there are so many babies here that I've seen.
07:19They're all in the water here.
07:21I'm hoping I can find a bigger one because they do get way bigger than this and way more blue.
07:27So I'm going to put this little guy back and I'm going to keep looking.
07:36I'm going to let him go now.
07:38Ready?
07:41There he goes.
07:42And he's just on his way.
07:44Alright, I want to find a really big one now.
07:46Really big.
07:47Really blue.
07:48So I'm going to go up creek for this one.
07:50So let's see how we go.
08:08What was it?
08:09A spiny crate.
08:10It was huge.
08:11It was just the size of my friggin' forearm and I missed it.
08:14It literally went into this hole here.
08:16Pass me the camera.
08:17Shit, shit, shit.
08:21Can you see it?
08:24That's in there.
08:27It's massive.
08:29He is huge.
08:45In that little hole just there.
08:48That is freaking epic.
08:51This is what we came here for.
08:55Look at that.
08:58How amazing.
09:00It's so sad that these guys are endangered.
09:05You'll only find these 300 meters above sea level.
09:11And they're getting harder and harder to find.
09:14So this is really cool.
09:16Champagne and it tastes like Coca-Cola.
09:20C-O-L-A, Coca-Cola.
09:24She walked up to me and she asked me to dance.
09:28I asked her name and in a brown voice she said Lola.
09:33How many people just want to do this?
09:36It's so good.
09:37It was great to get that way.
09:37I don't know anything.
09:38We'll get the same thing.
09:47I can't get that much in the bathroom.
09:51But it's so good to me.
09:52I can't do that.
09:52No, it's so cool.
09:52You're really good to see it.
09:52I didn't learn what you got.
09:53You're like the one I was out there.
09:53And you buy it.
09:54I don't know.
09:54at all
