Wattles aren’t just beautiful — they’re essential. They’ve long been used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for food, medicine, tools, and as seasonal indicators.
And fun fact: each Aussie banknote features a different species of wattle!

Happy National Wattle Day! 💛💚
Did you know Australia is home to nearly 1,000 species of wattle?
From Golden Wattle, our national floral emblem (Acacia pycnantha), to the rare pink-purple blooms of Acacia purpureopetala, wattles are as diverse as the landscapes they grow in.

On Sept 1, Australia celebrates the 1st day of spring with #NationalWattleDay! This beautiful wattle, Acacia prominens (Golden Rain Wattle), is from Curtis's Botanical Magazine (1836) contributed to #BHLib by @mobotgarden.bsky.social biodiversitylibrary.org/page/466265 #FlowersInTheLibrary #ILoveBHL
Don't blame wattles for hayfever woes, introduced pines & grasses are the bad guys! www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2011/09/01... @ManuSaunders #NationalWattleDay
