		Golden Wattle grows natively in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia, forming the understory in forest and woodland.

	Australia's Floral Emblem
		Golden Wattle occurs in the understorey of open forest or woodland and in open scrub formations in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, in temperate regions with mean annual rainfall of 350 mm to 1000 mm.
		The branches of wattle used as an ornamental accessory to the shield, representing the badges of the six States as they were in 1912, were not mentioned in the blazon, but were depicted in the coloured illustration included in the gazettal of the Australian armorial bearings.
		Golden Wattle was featured on a 5 cent stamp [illust] issued on 17 April 1970 which complements the earlier set decorated with the floral emblems of the six Australian States.

	Winter Wattles - July - Scribbly Gum - ABC Science Online
		Wattles growing nearest the coast are generally the earliest in the year to flower, followed by those further inland.
		Wattles are opportunistic pollinators - making the most of pretty much any beetle, wasp or bee which lands on them to do the job of spreading their genes around.
		But whatever the future, the ability of wattles to flower in winter means gardeners and travellers will always be able to enjoy the golden touches they bring to the chilly winter landscape, while so many other species are deep in winter repose.

	Australian Floral Emblem: Acacia pycnantha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As discussed by Boden (1985) the adoption of Wattle as the national flower tends to be confirmed by its incorporation into the design of the Australian Coat of Arms; this was depicted in the Commonwealth Government Gazette on 18 January 1913.
		The decision as to exactly what Wattle species should constitute the emblem was to be decided at a national Conference of the Wattle Day League that was held in Melbourne on 8 January 1913.
		However, Golden Wattle has a somewhat restricted natural distribution in Australia, being confined to parts of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales; furthermore, it is already an environmental weed in some places, both within Australia and abroad (see Maslin and McDonald in press).
