Above is an exhibit of the Australian Coat of Arms found in the Melbourne Museum. It features the kangaroo and the emu. I cannot tell you what the shield represents. However, I can tell you something about the animals. Besides being natives to Australia, they have one interesting thing in common. They cannot walk backwards. Therefore, using them in the Coat of Arms (which is everywhere) represents Australia moving forward and looking to the future. Kind of cool huh?
Cheers!
