Visitors to Tasmania will soon be able to buy a new souvenir of their Australian experience - paper made from kangaroo manure.

"It's a great product for tourists, but it's also something that gets our eco-friendly message home to a lot of people," said Joanne Gair, manager of Creative Paper Tasmania.

The first batch of paper has now been produced, but Ms Gair conceded that there was one remaining problem - finding a constant supply of kangaroo and wallaby dung.

"At the moment we are finding it very difficult to get the quantity of poo we need," she said.

3. Could the same thing be made from buffalo shit, the American....
...bison? These big fellows produce a lot of manure, especially out in Montana and Wyoming. That might be fitting for the states which have given us Dick and Lynn Cheney.
