What are the floral and faunal emblems of each state in Australia?

Answer 1

Australia is divided into 6 official states and 2 additional territories that in most aspects function as independent states. Each state boasts its own official emblems to honor the region's specific history and individuality. New South Whales claims its official mammal to be the platypus, bird to be the kookaburra, marine animal to be the blue groper, and their flower to be the waratah. Queensland's mammal is the koala, its bird is the brolga, and its flower is the Cooktown Orchid. South Australia lays claim to the hairy-nosed or plains wombat mammal, the piping shrike or magpie bird, the leafy sea dragon marine animal and the Strut's Desert Pea flower. Tasmania is proud to display an emblem of the Tasmanian Blue Gum as their official flower. Victoria's mammal is the Leadbetter's Possum, bird is the helmeted honeyeater, marine animal is the weedy seadragon, and flower is the common or pink heath. Western Australia is home to the numbat mammal, black swan bird, and kangaroo paw flower. In the Australian Capital Territory, one would find emblems of the gang cockatoo bird and royal bluebell flower. The Northern Territory is home not only to Australia's "Outback," but also the red kangaroo mammal, wedge tailed eagle bird, and Strut's Desert Rose flower.
