my mum and dad live in Tassie and they bought me a R.A.R.E bag for christmas last year (Re-use And Re-cycle Everything).
i LOVE IT!
Its made out of anything that can be recycled - curtains, table clothes, clothes, etc.
They are expensive, but have awesome slogans on the bags promoting animal welfare and environmental issues etc
They're currently on the mainland (last i heard in QLD) doing markets.
