Join us for a casual 'meet & greet' event in Wattle Park to celebrate Wattle Day.
As well as being the official start of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere, the 1st of September is a day of celebration in Australia, known as National Wattle Day. Spring is a time when many wattles (acacias) are blossoming, and people wear a sprig of the flowers and leaves to celebrate the day. Although the national floral emblem of Australia is a particular species, called the Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha), any wattle can be worn to celebrate the day. Wattle is seen as a unique, and quintessential, Australian symbol.
