Northern Territory's Coat of Arms
Until the Northern Territory was granted self-government on July 1, 1978, it was administered by the Federal Government, and used the national Coat of Arms.The territory's own Coat of Arms was granted in 1978. The shield contains Aboriginal motifs associated with Arnhem Land. The supporters are two red kangaroos and the crest is a wedge-tailed eagle. The territory's floral emblem is Sturt's desert rose (Gossypium sturtianum), proclaimed in 1964.
The bird emblem, the wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila audax), and the faunal emblem, the red kangaroo (Macropus rutus), were both proclaimed in 1975. The territory colours widely accepted are those of the flag - black, white and ochre - which are the basic colours used in Aboriginal painting.
