New coins shine light on heart and soul of Australia
July 15, 2026
From the dusty tracks of the Diamantina to the tropical savannahs of the north and the ancient beehive domes of the Bungle Bungles, Australia’s rangelands are far more than remote landscapes — they are the heartbeat of the nation.
The Royal Australian Mint’s latest release, Heart and Soul of Australia: International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, honours the people and places who call the vast red heart of Australia home – the people behind the food on our tables and the fibres in our clothes – and their stories of resilience and sense of community.
