Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 20, 1961.
The tinctures of field and cross (St George's), the mullets (representing the Southern Cross), the garbs, or wheatsheaves (agriculture), are similar to those in the arms of New South Wales, and the rams' heads (for the pastoral industry) echo the fleeces in those Arms, the bezant representing finance.
The Crest is indicative of the sea, and of commerce and trade, a similarly blazoned ship appearing also in the arms of Sydney. The cog-wheels on the shoulders of the supporting kangaroos represent industry.
The motto is taken from a circular issued in 1860 by Josiah Mullens, who became the second chairman of the Exchange in 1875.
