FTFA: All the paper is made from the dung of a single animal called Nugget that lives in a wildlife park near Cradle Mountain, one of Tasmania's most popular tourist destinations.

Now, unless this creature is a real-life Nibbler, I doubt it is going to save the economy of an entire city.

He added that it was the tourists themselves who came up with the wombat idea.

"That's very nice, but what I'd really like is something made out of wombat feces."

"Right away, madam!"

I just fertilized some vegetable plants with dried bat guano, so I got a kick out of that headline.

... I got it for free, it seems to work, but damned if it's not still weird. The "you might want to wear a mask to not inhale this stuff" warning doesn't help either.

The things I do for future tomatoes and basil.

I wonder what the quality of the paper is.

Personally, I think you're batshiat crazy.

"It's a waaaambat."

I would print my resume on womat poo paper. Much simpler than ass pennies, and if your job ever fires you, you can let them know they once held wombat shiat.

Paper made of poo? The devil you say!

"I've been to gold towns, silver towns, I've even been to turquoise towns. But I have never been to a wombat crap town. Can't wait to see the women!"

You've obviously never been to Cradle Mountain - finding a nickel on the sidewalk could save the "economy" of that "city"...

It is so hard to wash the wombat feces out of the lederhosen.

Is a wombat the same as Rocco from Rocco's Modern Life or is he a wallaby?

Of course it's all so simple. Why didn't I think of it before?

UFIA

Its characteristic waddle and playful appearance, makes it one of the country's most endearing native creatures.

I approve of this thread on behalf of all the Fark user names related to wombats.

You know which other Austrian had a solution?

There are no truly beautiful Aussie animals other than birds. These 'Roos, Wombats, Devils, Koalas, etc. look like plain, partially finished, rough prototype animals.

Isn't Australia the place where the Hells Angels are known as a "bikie" gang?

Noooo, Rocco's a wallaby.

Well, yeah, but to balance it out, try ordering a coffee there.

The best part of TFA is that the wombat looks like it's pooping.

I'M POOPIN'

Ah, I wasn't sure. Too many mammals with 'w' names.

Just as soon as the poop of these guys is worth money, I'll be RICH!:

I've got a bunch of long-nosed bandicoots in my yard - they keep digging up the lawn, the magnificent little bastards. I do love 'em, though - they're cute as the dickens. And totally unafraid of my cat (and rightfully so, he's a big pussy!). Caught one sitting in the backyard on Easter night, about four feet away from Tigger, looking completely relaxed. Wish I'd had my camera handy...

Wombats. I can still recall their sound echoing in the Alps.

Is it weird that I read the headline as "Austrian has a final solution"?

Some of the vendors in Melbourne's Victoria Market sell tanned kangaroo scrotums (they look like leather coin pouches). Makes for a great gift for the squeamish...

Wombat Crap? Wasn't that an album by the Clash?

Bizarro Ninja: Is it weird that I read the headline as "Austrian has a final solution"?

Yeah, like Australia is going to send its navy to Santa Barbara to kill all the Jews...

Thailand has been doing this for years with elephants. They probably got the idea from there.

On a side note, the word wombat brings back one memory and one memory only:

I think it would be bigger news once they discover how to make paper from human faeces.

A little imagination and you're rich -- just pick it out of the yard, put it in a piece of plastic and market it as Bandicoot Butt Nuggets. Tourists will snatch 'em right up.

I love it. If he doesn't use it can I? There's a dog down the road named Bella and her owner really needs a delivery of all the "Bella's Butt Nuggets" that she fails to pick up when they're out for a walk.
