• States Emblems

Australia's diverse environment supports an abundance of unique flora. While our national floral emblem, the golden wattle, is widely dispersed, many plant species are confined to quite specific areas.

Do you know the floral emblem for your State or Territory?

How much do you know about it?

Would you like the opportunity to select a local flower to be your own floral emblem... or your school's... or your local community's! It's all available in the Floral Emblems of Australia Education Kit!

Developed by the Australian National Botanic Gardens, this free kit is designed for primary students and teachers.

It is specially suited to kids in the bush! But city kids will love it too.

• an information booklet telling you lots about them
