Flag of Melbourne

The City of Melbourne's flag features a white background divided into four quadrants by a red cross, which is the cross of St. George, the patron saint of England and taken from the English flag. In the centre, a crown is visible, signifying the Australian city's links to the British Monarchy. Other items featured are, going from top left clockwise, fleece hanging from a red ring, a bull, a ship and a whale. The four cantons represent the main activities of which the economy of the City of Melbourne was based in the mid 19th century. They were wool growing, cattle raising, shipping and whaling.

The flag of the City of Melbourne is identical to the arms of the coat of arms of the city of Melbourne.
