SPOTTING crabs at Hillarys Boat Harbour shouldn’t be too hard this Sunday.
Nipper – a 5m inflatable Blue Manna crab – will visit the weekend hotspot from 10am to 2pm to help raise awareness about sustainable fishing of crabs and spread the word about the 20th anniversary of Mandurah Crab Fest being held on March 17 and 18.
The festival is WA’s biggest free regional event and showcases a variety of food and entertainment from the Peel area, including local and international acts across four stages and fireworks.
