• The Commonwealth Coat of Arms is the formal symbol of the Commonwealth of Australia and was granted on 19 September 1912.
• The kangaroo and emu are the native animals that hold the shield on the coat of arms with pride. Some say the kangaroo and emu were chosen to symbolise a nation moving forward. This is based on the common belief that neither animal can move backwards easily.
• Symbols of Australia's six states appear together on the shield. They are:
  • New South Wales – the Cross of St George with lion and stars
  • Victoria – the Southern Cross
  • Queensland – a blue Maltese Cross and Crown
  • South Australia – the Australian piping shrike
  • Western Australia – a black swan
  • Tasmania – a red walking lion
