ANother image of official government seal of south australia.

Ho! I stand corrected. The seal is NOT the kangaroo and dodo used for the whole of Australia, it's the very similar official South Australian lion and unicorn.

Actually, I'm wondering whether the kangaroo and dodo seal was derived from the more likely older and more British lion and unicorn.

But no matter. That explains why the tail on the certificate seal is up in the air. It explains why the shield is more rounded than the one on the full Australian seal. And if you look closely, you can see a bit of the shape of the unicorn.
