The other animal, holding up the other half of Australia's crest is the emu. Also there because it cannot go backwards. As the saying goes, both animals cannot retreat, thus the crest shall remain aloft.
However, at Featherdale Wildlife Park, I saw with my own eyes an emu going backwards. Directly backtracking rather nimbly, I might add.
This proves the other adage I've since learned in Australia, Australians don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
