Queensland's way to be well-heeled - and toad

BRISBANE: Ever wondered how many cane toads it takes to make a pair of shoes, or how many barramundi have to be stitched together for a genuinely fishy evening gown?

You need eight large toads for the shoes, 12 for a handbag and one for a key-holder.

Or one large (or two small) toads to make up a wallet. For the evening gown, you are looking at about 50 barramundi.
