Diprotodon, the largest marsupial ever to roam the earth, weighing up to 2.8 tonnes, lived between 2mn and 50,000 years ago and died out around the time indigenous tribes first appeared.
***It would suggest that they made for a good barbecue.

I'm going to call the '2.8 tonnes' 6160 lbs. I hate ambigious units of measure.

So figure a standard 60% yield rate.

That gives you 3696 lbs of edible meat, bone in, (we'll feed the liver and fiddly bits to un-named frenchmen on the side and not count them).

That gives you, depending on the bone density, about 2500 servings.

You will need 900 lbs of potatoes for 'tater salad.

150 lbs of beans for baked beans.

And everybody can bring a covered dish for deserts and veggies.

Damn... that was a reflex.

I do love a BBQ.
