Australian Coat of Arms

This rendering of the Coat of Arms is found on Law Courts in Macquarie St Sydney. You can find a full description of it here.

The kangaroo and emu are pretty obvious. In the shield in the middle, from left to right, top to bottom:

• cross of St George and lion (New South Wales)
• Imperial crown and Southern Cross (Victoria)
• Maltese cross and Imperial crown (Queensland)
• Australian piping shrike (South Australia)
• Black Swan (Western Australia)
• Lion (Tasmania)

The star above the shield is the seven pointed Federation Star - one point for each of the six state and one representing the territories. The circular thing is representative of a wreath.
