September is Australia's "National Heritage Month". When people turn the pages of books, the national flag and national emblem bookmarks are quietly conveying the courage code of this land. This bookmark, which is less than the size of a palm, has a dark blue background. The Southern Cross guides the direction, and the seven-pointed star of the Federation brings unity – just like the journey of this young country in finding a common belief in multiculturalism. The kangaroos and emus on the national emblem will never retreat, just like the acacia pattern on the edge of the bookmark, reminding every reader: the growth of life requires the courage to face challenges. The Aboriginal totem and the immigrant sailboat on the back of the bookmark complement each other, implicitly coinciding with Australia's wisdom of tolerance and symbiosis. When the sun penetrates the pages of the book, the projection of the Federation Star falls between the words, as if saying: every ordinary day is an opportunity to write history. This land once reshaped its destiny with the gold rush, and now the star track on the bookmark is guiding a new journey. Whether it is the survival wisdom of the Aboriginals for tens of thousands of years or the cultural vitality brought by the new immigrants, they are all melted into the power of moving forward in the small bookmark. When the book is closed, the metal badge taps lightly on the table, just like the sound of eucalyptus seeds falling to the ground – small but pregnant with the potential to grow into something bigger.

九月是澳洲的"國家遺產月"，當人們翻閱書頁時，國旗與國徽書籤正悄悄傳遞著這片土地的勇氣密碼。這枚不足掌心大小的書籤，以深藍為底，南十字星指引方向，聯邦七芒星凝聚團結——恰如這個年輕國家在多元文化中尋找共同信仰的歷程。國徽上的袋鼠與鴯鶓永遠不會後退，正如書籤邊緣的金合歡紋樣，提醒著每個閱讀者：生命的成長需要直面挑戰的勇氣。原住民圖騰與移民帆船在書籤背面相映成趣，暗合著澳洲包容共生的智慧。當陽光穿透書頁，聯邦之星的投影落在文字間，彷彿在說：每個平凡日常都是書寫歷史的機會。這片土地曾用淘金熱重塑命運，而今，書籤上的星軌正指引新的旅程。無論是原住民數萬年的生存智慧，或是新移民帶來的文化活力，都在方寸書籤裡熔鑄成前進的力量。合上書本時，金屬徽章輕叩桌面，恰似桉樹種子落地的聲響——微小卻孕育著參天的可能。
