Australia's coat of arms features a kangaroo and emu. These two animals are prominent on the coat of arms because, not only are they uniquely Australian, but they are unable to walk backwards, and therefore represent forward progression - apt for a new, young country. They are not Australia's official faunal emblems, as Australia has no official faunal emblem.
Australia's floral emblem is the Golden Wattle and this appears behind the emu and kangaroo.
The kangaroo and emu are holding a shield, upon which is the badge of each state of Australia. This indicates the unity of the states, as they came together at Federation, and highlighting this is the Federation Star which sits above the shield. The Federation star, or Commonwealth star, is a seven pointed star - there is one point for each of the six Australian states, while the seventh point represents all of Australia's territories, i.e. the two mainland territories and the seven external (offshore) territories.
