China's breathtaking appetite for all things Australian - iron ore, real estate and baby formula - has gone sky high.
Now Chinese people could soon be getting a taste for Australian air, if two Sydney entrepreneurs have their way.
John Dickinson and Theo Ruygrok have devised a way to bottle the air we breathe freely and are selling cans of pure Yarra Valley atmosphere for $18.80 each.
"We want to give people internationally a chance to taste what our beautiful air is like," Mr Dickinson said.

They already sell bottled air from the Blue Mountains, Bondi Beach, the Yarra Valley, New Zealand and Tasmania, and are looking to harvest the atmospheric blend from additional locations around the country.
Might need to get more windfarms

It seems to be aimed at the same audience that pays through the nose for the trash they sell on TVSN etc. They'll make a bundle.

This is why we needn't worry about a very fast train in Oz. Just sell our rail system to China and let them build the thing.

Better to sell them Aussie air than Aussie cattle stations. Air is a renewable asset.

And it'll be a safe bet there'll be no shortage of takers. A fool and his money, etc, etc. Restaurants in the UK can flog you a bottle of 'spring water' for three and four quid a throw. We have the highest rainfall of anywhere on the planet, and our water tastes the sweetest, but walk into any eaterie, and you'll see a bottle of Evian water on at least seven or eight tables. If the manufacturers tells you it's good for you, then it must be.
