STATE TRAWLING INDUSTRY.

The funnel band bore the state coat of arms. Its blue shield has a silver cross voided red, with a gold star on each red arm and a gold lion at the centre. Gold fleeces with silver bands occupy the first and fourth quarters, and gold wheat sheaves the second and third. Above is a rising sun with reddish-orange flame-tipped rays on a blue-and-silver torse. A gold lion on the viewer’s left and gold kangaroo on the right support the shield, usually standing on the motto ribbon. Orta recens quam pura nites is translated in the source as “Newly risen, how brightly you shine”.
