Murray River Flag

Little is known about the flag's early history but it may have originated as far back as 1850 when the formation of the Murray River League was announced.

"[3] No fragments of the original Murray River Flag are known to exist and three versions have passed down to the present day.

The Mary Ann, built by three brothers William, Thomas and Elliot Randell, began her voyage from Mannum downstream to Goolwa on 4 March 1853.

The cross being charged with five stars as emblems of the Colonies while the upper corner, is taken up with British connections which is depicted by the Union Jack.

Today the Murray River is represented by three flags, each similar but based on different interpretations of the original description.
