FIELD GUIDE
The story
Clawdia is named for the competitors in the Moonie Yabbie Races.
The biennial races are what a very small Western Downs settlement has instead of a show, and they are exactly what they sound like: freshwater crayfish, a marked course, and a great deal of barracking. The bright oversized yabby standing near the Visitor Information Centre and Rural Transaction Centre is the town's monument to them, and Western Downs tourism describes her as one of the region's most photographed roadside attractions.
