Catherine did : wear the fern leaf brooch twice in New : Zealand, just as she wore the maple leaf : brooch a few times in Canada. There may not : be a suitable choice for Australia, since : the wattle brooch is very large and ornate, : and the other Australian brooches maybe are : not seen as symbols of the country, at least : not part of the local flag. The wattle is : also a great favorite of the Queen, and she : might be more reluctant to send it on tour : with anyone else.
