Student Weekly Competition - Wattle Day

Southern Cross University Students - your chance to win a Coles Voucher each week!

National Wattle Day is a formally proclaimed national day on 1 September in Australia. The Wattle Day Association celebrates National Wattle Day because:

• National Wattle Day includes everyone;

• Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) is our national floral emblem. It is a symbol that comes directly from our land;

• Golden Wattle is a unifying symbol of Australia and Australians. There is no other symbol that says so much about what it takes to survive and thrive in this ancient land;

• Wattles are Australian with great diversity (more than 1,075 described Acacia species) and resilience like our people;
