Etched into the hearts of Australians for generations, Mackellar’s words “I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains” embody the beauty, resilience and spirit of the nation.
Now, her timeless verses are brought to life in this exquisite coin series, a fitting tribute to her enduring poetic legacy. Officially launching at the Dorothea Mackellar Centre in Gunnedah on Thursday, 13 March, this collection brings three of her most beloved poems – Dawn, My Country and The Colours of Light – to life in stunning detail.
The first coin, inspired by Dawn, captures the tranquil beauty of the road to Gunnedah, a place Mackellar held dear. As the soft light of sunrise spreads across trees and mountains, a delicate spider web glistens, embodying the poem’s quiet reverence for nature’s awakening.
The second coin brings to life My Country, her most iconic work – a love letter to a land of striking contrasts, from sunlit beaches to storm-swept plains.
The final coin, inspired by The Colours of Light, is a vivid tribute to Mackellar’s lyrical mastery of colour and movement, featuring a dazzling peacock and radiant flora.
