Australian Wattle Day @ the Old Bus Depot Markets

National Wattle Day has been officially celebrated since 1992 across Australia.

Before then, Australians in different States and the territories celebrated their own wattle day on different days whenever the wattles were at their blooming best locally.

Wattles have long had special meanings for Australians and in 1988 the Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) was officially gazetted as Australia’s national floral emblem.

Celebrate at the markets with a sprig of wattle or Australia’s colors of green and gold and delve into all the Wattle items throughout the market.
