crabhole


a depression in a paddock; a gilgai; especially in black soil: The young bloke got the tractor bogged in that crabhole.

Contributor's comments: Growing up on a farm in the Wimmera region, we had several such depressions on the property. My understanding was that they had been caused by colonies of 'yabbies' hence the term 'crab holes'.
