As an Army Veteran I created Matilda Poppy. The Matilda (Orange) Poppy is to be held in Honour, Acknowledgement and Respect for all our Living ADF and its Veterans...Past, Present..Future....it is the cultivation of the belief for a richer life in which to be Proud.

The “Matilda Poppy” is to be a gift of thanks to those who have sacrificed selflessly in service of their Country and its people and also for those they love. It is a repayment of understanding and can be given as a gesture of heartfelt sincerity.

A Matilda Poppy will represent all that we as Australian’s believe in, Mateship, Camaraderie, Respect, and Strength, it is to show your Acknowledgment and Gratitude to all those who Serve..
