September 1st is Wattle Day. Wattle Day has a long history dating back to 1889 when the formation of a Wattle Blossom League in SA was proposed. The League aimed to promote a national patriotic sentiment among the woman of Australia by wearing sprigs of wattle on all official occasions. The date has been changed over the years but since 1992 its been on 1st September. Wattle gives us our national green and gold colours too.
