The Tasmanian Emu and the Forester Kangaroo are taken from the Council's unofficial crest, used from the 1850s, and also provide a connection with the Australian Coat of Arms.
As opposed to the other insular emu taxa, the King Island and the Kangaroo Island Emu, the population on Tasmania was sizable, meaning that there were no marked effects of small population size as in the other two isolates.
