Australia's first coat-of-arms was granted in 1908, and was a forerunner to the current coat-of-arms, featuring an emu and a kangaroo supporting the Australian shield.
Australia's current coat-of-arms was granted by Royal Warrant in 1912, and included more design to reflect the federated states, but retained the emu and kangaroo as symbols of progression (neither animal having ever been observed to take a backwards step).
