Default Patriotic car mascot

Hello everybody,
this car mascot from my collection represents a number of patriotic symbols from WW1. This is my interpretation of them - The mk 6 bullets represent the Australian States plus the Northern Territory in the form of the rising sun. The Australian coat of arms, along with the boomerang and a military shoulder badge all signify the national pride in the newly formed federation of Australia and its support of the Mother Country. The motto "Australia will be there" was the title of a popular ww1 patriotic song.
