Unlike their larger mainland cousins, the wallabies of Tasmania appear to be more trippy than Skippy. No lesser an authority than the island's attorney general has discovered that hungry marsupials and thousands of acres of legal opium poppy fields do not mix.
"We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," Lara Giddings told a budget hearing on Wednesday.
Nor does the problem end there. Even drugged-up marsupials, it seems, cannot break free of the physical law that demands that what goes up must come down.
"Then they crash," said Giddings. "We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."
"There have been many stories about sheep that have eaten some of the poppies after harvesting and they all walk around in circles," Rockliff told the Mercury newspaper.
