Helene,
I now know vitually everything about ANZAC day. So, it's wattle because where
Gallipolli took place there is a grove of Wattle and in Adalaide, where Tame Aussie
lived last, the light horse was mainly sourced from there so they wear wattle (not the
flower, just a sprig of the leaves)
Dear Helene,
Why wattle? It should be Flanders poppies for ANZAC Day!
To be strictly correct, the Flanders poppies were originally used on
Remembrance Day (Nov 11th). The strange thing is that these days I can
never get one to flower until about Nov 25th! All the local nurseries agree
with me.

No, I think Flanders poppers are for 11th November Remembrance Day.
Rosemary (a memory of the shores of Gallipoli) is always worn on
Anzac Day. We always go up to Sydney for the Anzac Day March,
and I often taken some

It's the wrong season in Australia for wattle, but you might be able to
get some from the south of France, it's called mimosa there...
