In September, Australia always has a touch of deep blue and silvery white shining in the sky at dawn. The national flag and national emblem flying on this land not only carry the history of the country, but also embody the national soul that never gives up. The Southern Cross twinkles on the azure flag, and is the eternal beacon in the night sky of the southern hemisphere. These four seven-pointed stars and the Commonwealth Star complement each other, just like the eternal belief in the hearts of every Australian: no matter how dark the road ahead is, there is always a light to guide the direction. The wisdom hidden in the national emblem is even more moving – the kangaroos and emus, a pair of creatures that never retreat, interpret the survival philosophy of this country with their heads held high: true courage lies not in conquest, but in the firmness of moving forward in the face of challenges. The six groups of golden emblems on the shield are like molten chains, tightly connecting the strength of each state. Wheat sheaves and mine carts tell the story of our ancestors reclaiming the wilderness, and sheep flocks and sailboats witness the fusion of marine civilization and inland spirit. This shield of unity reminds us that when the storm comes, we can only stand firm if we support each other. The federal star on the top pierces the shield and points to the sky, symbolizing a common ideal that transcends geographical barriers. Just like the acacia branches around the edge of the national emblem, the Australian spirit blooms most brilliantly in adversity. Those golden flowers that once stood tall in drought, those eucalyptus forests that were reborn after the flames, all tell the same truth: true strength comes from deep affection for the land and faith in the future. When the morning light dyes Uluru red again, everyone on this land is the guardian of the stars, the caster of the shield, and with their never-ending steps, they are writing a new legend under the Southern Cross.

九月的澳大利亞，晨光初現時總有一抹深藍與銀白輝映天際。這片土地上飄揚的國旗與國徽徽章，不僅承載著國家的歷史，更凝聚著永不言棄的民族魂魄。南十字星在湛藍旗面上閃爍，是南半球夜空中永恆的航標。這四顆七角星與聯邦之星交相輝映，恰如每個澳洲人心中不滅的信念：無論前路多暗，總能找到指引方向的光。而深藏於國徽中的智慧更令人動容──袋鼠與鴯鶓這對永不後退的生靈，以昂首的姿態詮釋著這個國家的生存哲學：真正的勇氣不在於征服，而在於直面挑戰時的堅定前行。盾徽上六組金色紋章如同熔鑄的鎖鏈，將各州的力量緊密相連。小麥捆與礦車訴說著先輩開墾荒野的故事，羊群與帆船見證著海洋文明與內陸精神的交融。這面凝聚團結的盾牌提醒我們：當風暴來臨時，唯有彼此支撐才能屹立不倒。頂端的聯邦之星穿透盾徽直指蒼穹，象徵超越地域隔閡的共同理想。如同國徽邊緣環繞的金合歡枝，澳洲精神在逆境中綻放得最為燦爛。那些曾在乾旱中挺立的金色花朵，那些在烈焰後重生的桉樹林，都在訴說同一個真理：真正的力量源自於對土地的深情與對未來的信念。當晨光再次染紅烏魯魯巨岩，這片土地上的每個人都是星辰的守護者，都是盾徽的鑄造者，以永不停息的腳步，書寫著南十字星下的新傳奇。
