![[Greater Melbourne Ensign]](../images/a/au-vi-gm.gif)
by John Vaughan, 7 Jan 2005
Many years ago I saw a flag in Melbourne, and sort of forgot it, until Australia Day when I saw news footage of a tall ship in Sydney wearing it. It is red, with a blue St. George's Cross fimbriated white, bearing five eight-pointed white stars (one at the centre and one at each arm); a white tall ship in the canton.

The flag you probably saw was a design by John Vaughan for a "Greater Melbourne" flag - similar to the design concept of his "Greater Sydney" flag.

![[Port of Geelong]](../images/a/au-vi_gg.gif)
by Mason Kaye, 6 Dec 2003
A map on a flag from Mason Kaye's presentation is the Port of Geelong, Victoria,
Australia. Mason describes this as "A silver or grey map of Australia on a
white field." I would add the map is augmented by a large G-shaped
double-ended arrow, with the inner end of the arrow pointing to the location
of Geelong.
