About the Australian Coat of Arms:
Granted by King Edward VII in 1908, the Australian Coat of Arms officially represents our nation. You'll find it on passports, official documents, and government property. A major change occurred in 1912 – the shield now incorporates emblems of each Australian state. Did you know the kangaroo and emu symbolize Australia's forward progress, as they cannot easily move backward?
