The New Weddington Isles are pleased to have been informed that we will be represented at the Canberra National Flower Festival (from 11/9 - 10/10/2021). Lord Watitune has been accepted as an official photographer for the Canberra Government Events Team, in return there will be a modest display of the New Weddington Isles' national flower, the silver-leaf daisy (pleurophyllum hookeri) along with an information panel on our Micronation. Along with our presence in the National Multicultural Parade next year, this is another example of how Micronations can positively interact with neighbouring Macronations. https://floriadeaustralia.com/
** UPDATE: The New Weddington Isles is delighted to have obtained a set of Macquarie Island stamps issued in 2010. Being located in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean in international waters between Australia and Antarctica - as are the New Weddington Isles - the two locations share a great deal of common flora and fauna. This includes the Silver-leaf daisy (pleurophyllum hookeri) our National Flower. This is featured on the 60c stamp in the set obtained, and will be added to our State Artefacts Collection.
