Northern
Territory Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms was granted by Queen Elizabeth in 1978.
It features a shield containing two aboriginal designs
associated with Arnhem Land, a female Aboriginal figure and
two carved motifs. On either side of the shield is a sprig of Sturt's Desert
Rose. The shield is supported by two red kangaroos
holding shells. At the crest is a wedge-tailed eagle,
with wings splayed, on a rock. Beneath the rock is a
helmet. This is the only Australian Coat of Arms to
contain all the bird, animal and floral emblems for that
state/territory. (Source: Aussie
