The picture of the flag of the University of Queensland is a snapshot from
the panorama at
http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/21845/, showing the flag flying from the
Forgan Smith building at the St Lucia (main) campus.
The flag is a dark
blue over white horizontal bicolour with the arms of the university in the
centre, and below that the text "The University of Queensland" (smallcaps) /
"AUSTRALIA" (in blue?). The arms and the text make up the university logo
adopted as part of a Corporate Identity Program in 1991, but the guidelines
(then or current) are not available without password, and I am not sure whether
this particular arrangement is used other than on a flag.
The arms
themselves are gold, with a blue cross patee (a reference to the blue Maltese Cross of the
state badge) surmounted by an open book (signifying knowledge and learning).
(Blazon: Or, a Cross Patee azure surmounted by an open Book proper.) Below
the shield is a gold ribbon bearing the motto Scientia ac Labore, generally
translated ‘by means of knowledge and hard work’. (Source: The University of
Queensland’s Coat of Arms: Historical Aspects,

Services)
The photo
shows the flag flying alongside the Australian and Queensland flags, before
the installation of two more flagpoles allowing the university to regularly
fly the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags at the same time from 24
February 2011.
