Australia have been revealed to have been caused by wallabies getting high on opium poppies, a tour guide has claimed.Wallabies are believed to be purposely eating the poppies, which contain white opium gum used in morphine and codeine, and this causes erratic changes in their behaviour.The claims have been made by outdoor educator Sid Hewison on his TikTok after looking into crop circles in a Tasmanian farmers field.Mr Hewison said: “A lot of people think crop circles are fake but the crop circles we have here in Tasmania are very much real.“Some of the local wallaby population get into these opiate-rich poppy fields, they have a bit of a chew on what is essentially pure codeine and morphine and jump around in a circle, leaving a nice little crop circle and then they pass out.“Wallabies are more trippy than skippy.”The wallabies' antics were originally rumours which Mr Hewison struggled to believe but later watched the bizarre behaviour with his own eyes.He explained that these poppy fields in Tasmania provide the key ingredient in medicines sent all over the world.The fields contain what is known by locals as “super poppies” and why there are warnings on the gate after Mr Hewison claims several people have died from taking the poppies.He added: “it essentially blows their mind and kills them.”For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.The issue of wallabies eating the opium poppies is actually a problem that stems from over a decade ago.According to the Mail, former Tasmanian premier Lara Giddings brought up the wallabies behaviour while she was the state's attorney general in 2009.Ms Giddings told a snake hearing: “We have a problem
