Australians wear rosemary sprigs on ANZAC Day. It’s a symbol of commemoration for those who served Australia in wars, conflicts and peace operations. The tradition stems from rosemary bushes that grow wild on the Gallipoli peninsula in Türkiye. ANZAC Day is held on 25 April, the anniversary of the start of the Gallipoli Campaign in World War I.
