Celebrating Dorothea Mackellar & My Country

This Postal Numismatic Cover commemorates Dorothea Mackellar (1885–1968) and her iconic poem “My Country,” originally written in 1908 under the title “Core of My Heart” when she was just 19 years old.

The coin design reflects Australia’s dramatic landscapes and contrasts — the enduring spirit of a land of “droughts and flooding rains.” Mackellar’s words helped define Australian national identity and remain among the most recognisable verses in the country’s literary history.

Born in Sydney and inspired by time spent at her brother’s farm near Gunnedah, NSW, Mackellar’s work placed her alongside literary greats such as Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson, celebrating Australia’s rugged beauty over England’s gentler landscapes.
