Let's dive into the story behind Wattle Day and why wearing wattle-themed designs is such a beautiful way to mark the occasion.
What Is Wattle Day?
Wattle Day is a national day which is celebrated every year on 1 September, which also happens to 'officially' be the first day of spring in Australia. Wattle is also the floral emblem of Australia.
The tradition of celebrating Wattle Day dates back over a century. It's all about celebrating Australian unity, resilience, diversity, and the natural beauty of our unique landscape.
Originally proposed as a unifying celebration in the early 20th century, Wattle Day has grown in popularity over the years.
It's a time to come together as a diverse nation and appreciate the beautiful native golden wattle blossoms that flourish throughout the country in early spring. As an alternative to Australia Day, we think it's pretty good.
