looks like snake holes to me!--
Sister D
Not snakes, D. Our other Sis found website which confirms they're freshwater crayfish holes. The pix on that site (at http://museumvictoria.com.au/forest/ observations/crayfish.html) is so similar to mine, it could be the same one!
Crayfish do dig bourrows, usually in the banks underwater but I guess on the east coast with eels making life difficult, producing young away from free water makes sense! How intriguing! By the way D, C is right, snakes don't dig they just sneak into ready made ones.
D is American and shares her fellow countrymen's fears about Australian critters. However, on her most recent visit, she was much braver and came quite near a good-sized huntsman (albeit on the OTHER side of a glass door!)
We have hundreds of those type holes around here - ours are some sort of crabs I think (where near the beach).
