Dingo Flour sign

The Dingo Flour sign is a stylised silhouetted dingo in red on the side of a historic and heritage-listed working flour mill in North Fremantle, Western Australia.

The Heritage Council of Western Australia says: “…the place has a landmark quality with strong vertical proportions, height and massing of the mill and silo structures, the Dingo Flour brand image, and the Norfolk Island pine; the place has been commonly referred to as 'Dingo Flour Mill' for many years, showing the impact of the symbol, and has developed its own set of myths, including that it was painted by Alan Bond, demonstrating that the 'dingo' contributes to the community’s sense of place…”[2] The mill was designed by architect J. F. Allen, of Allen and Nicholas, and the office building was designed by Powell, Cameron & Chisholm Architects.

It was painted over during World War II, but its outlines were still faintly visible.

Refugees and migrants coming to Fremantle saw the sign, and it remains a useful reference point for boaters and anglers.
