NEW SOUTH WALES
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms of New South Wales were granted on October 11, 1906.
The red cross of St. George with the lion and four stars of the Southern Cross are the badge of New South Wales, and thus the main part of the arms. The (British) lion and the cross symbolise the British origin of the first settlers. The rural industry is represented by the golden fleece (sheep) and sheaves of wheat. The motto, Newly risen how brightly you shine, is also represented by the sun. The kangaroo and the lion form the link between Australia and Britain.
