Australia's charm culture has two distinct strands: the extraordinary Indigenous spiritual tradition and the adopted European/global charm practices of settlers and migrants. Aboriginal Australians have one of the world's oldest continuing spiritual traditions, in which tjurunga (sacred objects), dot-art paintings encoding songline maps, and totem animals carry profound protective power available to the initiated. The boomerang — the returning object — carries inherent lucky symbolism: what you send out returns to you.
The broader Australian settler culture adopted British and European charm traditions: the horseshoe, four-leaf clover, and lucky penny are standard. The opal — mined in Australia's outback in the finest quality in the world — is the national gemstone and carries both lucky and unlucky associations (unlucky only for those not born in October, according to a Victorian-era gem trade myth). The kangaroo and emu — national animals — appear on lucky charms.
