Description of the Flag

Broken Hill City Council has started using flags again with the official city council crest adopted in 1967. If I understood correctly, the flag is white with crest on it.

In September 2011 the Broken Hill City Council adopted a logo, which is based upon the natural terrain of Broken Hill, in arid semi-desert far south-west New South Wales.

Further to the "official" Broken Hill City Flag, featuring the City's Crest, the Council adopted in 1983, for their City's Centenary a logo - see image above and attached explanation, being a stylised mine head. I have not been able, yet, to find out if was used as a flag.

I confirm that there was in fact a Broken Hill Centenary Flag, as I have located in my archives a "hand-waver" size (21.5 cm X 21 cm) paper flag, together with a letter dated 4 February 1985, sent to me from the then City of Broken Hill's Mayor, Peter L. Black.

In the letter, Mayor Black said;
"The design of the Centenary flag was that of the Centenary Logo, which was designed by local, Mr. Ken Hawkins, who now resides in Adelaide."
"The flag was made by The Flag Centre, in Wayville, South Australia."
(Wayville is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia's state capital city)
The Centenary Logo design appears on both sides of the "paper" flag, but the black text only on the obverse side.

The Mayor then continued on to briefly mention a City Council Flag, saying;
"The Broken Hill City Council does not have a flag, although a crest used on official documents, as at the top of this correspondence."
