The shield is ensigned by a crown representing Australia's ties with the British monarchy. The design actually includes elements from the arms of Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist on Captain Cook's "Endeavour", as Governor Hunter named the area after him. The blue shield with the white cross and the gold fleur de lys are from Banks' arms, and the stork standing on the stump is the Banks crest. The stars are the constellation of the Southern Cross, an Australian symbols, and the second quarter features a mayoral chain alluding to local government. | The shield is ensigned by a crown representing Australia's ties with the British monarchy.
