MULGRAVE
State : Queensland
Incorporated into : 1995 Cairns
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 29, 1955.
The two halves of the shield symbolize the local economy, with the picks and shovel alluding to mining and secondary industry, and the lion with the scythe to modern mechanised methods of agriculture. The bull's head refers to the meat industry, while the wreath is made up of wattle, Australia's national flower, and also emblem of North Queensland.
The supporters represent local sugar and timber industries, while the three furrows in the compartment symbolize the transition from virgin bush to cultivated land.
