Great photo. This is definitely a Euastacus crayfish. It looks very much like Euastacus rieki. The location distribution is close to E rieki and separating them from E. crassus requires internal characteristics. However, the mid tumut catchment has an undescribed species recently genetically split from E. crassus.
