Australia may not have an 'official' national bird, or any faunal emblem, but 
the kangaroo and emu are widely accepted.

If the national bird was not to be the emu, then surely it would have to be the 
wedge-tailed eagle, probably Australia's most iconic bird......alongside the 
emu.

Cheers
David
