A KNITTED stuffed kangaroo is likely to be dumped for "something precious" as the official gift from Australia to the royal baby.

Prince William and Catherine Middleton are expected to welcome the newest arrival to the royal family within days.

A spokeswoman for Kevin Rudd said his wife Therese Rein and daughter Jessica were currently mulling over the gift to be given to the third in line to the throne.

"It will be Australian, precious and very special for both baby and Mum," the spokeswoman said.

An opal-encrusted rattle could be on the cards.

Britain recently passed laws to ensure that Kate and William's baby, regardless of the sex, will be able to take the throne following Prince Charles and Prince William.

Before she was removed as Prime Minister Julia Gillard was knitting a stuffed kangaroo for the royal baby.

Her spokeswoman said on if it would still be sent as part of Australia's gift: "we have no comment".

However, it is unlikely.

Before her removal from the prime ministership last month Ms Gillard told the Australian Women's Weekly magazine the stuffed kangaroo would be part of the gift for the royal baby but: "I suspect our nation will probably do something a little more".

The magazine took a series of professional photographs with Ms Gillard which sparked public outrage.

"In terms of knitting for Kate's baby - I knit for babies - in part, because they are smaller projects, I've got not that much time in my life. You can get them done and there's a sense of satisfaction in having completed it," Ms Gillard said.

"I just thought it would be a cute project to work on."

In 1981 when the world was preparing for the arrival of Prince William, Australia sent a gift of 20 handcrafted silver platters, each inscribed on the back with Princess Diana and Prince Charles's wedding date, and presented in a French-polished box made from Australian blackwood.
