Australia Coat of Arms T-Shirt

Celebrate Australia with this t-shirt featuring the Commonwealth Coat of Arms. Granted in 1912, this official symbol of Australia includes a shield with the emblems of the six states. The shield is supported by a kangaroo and an emu, two native Australian animals chosen because they are believed to be unable to move backward easily, symbolizing a nation moving forward. Above the shield is the seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, representing the six states and the territories. The coat of arms is framed by sprays of Golden Wattle, Australia's national floral emblem.
