Wallabies get high in poppy fields, make crop circles
June 25, 2009 05:59am
WALLABIES are breaking into Tasmania's poppy fields, getting high and then hopping round creating crop circles while in a drug haze.
The strange occurrence, revealed in a State Government Budget Estimates hearing, has also solved what some growers say has spurred a campfire legend about mysterious crop circles that appear in northern Tasmania's poppy paddocks.
In true X-Files-style, Attorney-General Lara Giddings said the drugged out wallabies had been found hopping around in circles squashing the poppies, creating the formations – and hence solving the mystery.
The wallabies are increasingly entering the fields and eating the poppy heads, The Mercury reports.
That causes them to get high and run around in circles creating "crop circles".
