Australian Capital Territory's Coat of Arms
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has no Coat of Arms. However, a Coat of Arms for the city of Canberra, the national capital of Australia, was granted by King George V in 1928.The motto embodied in the Coat of Arms is "For the Queen, the Law and the People". The supporters are a black swan and white swan, symbolising the Aboriginal and European races.
The ACT's floral emblem, the royal bluebell (Wahlenbergia gloriosa), was proclaimed in 1982. It has no bird or faunal emblem and no official colours. The colours worn by the majority of sporting teams are blue and gold.
