The mural crown represents a civic community. The usual crest-wreath and mantling are added in gold and blue, the colours of Tamworth, England; the Merino Ram's Head is differenced by the addition of sprigs of wattle from the Arms of Australia. The magpies have an additional element in the shape of an heraldic Tau Cross - the greek letter T for Tamworth which, with the waves and fleur de lys, is repeated in the badge.
