It doesn’t get more Australian than the Lighthorseman “Kangaroo Feathers”. According to legend, Major Percy Ricardo and Captain Harry Chauvel began to wear the feathers after a pet emu had died. Two stockmen picked up the feathers and placed them in their hats, which was said to have looked smart and so it began.
Appreciating a practical joke, when asked about their emu plumes, the light horsemen replied that they were, in fact, "Kangaroo Feathers” a true blue Australian export like bunyip farms, walking-stick farms, and treacle mines. Over 100 years on Emu Plumes are still the iconic symbol of Australian soldiers’ bravery.
