Two seagulls represent the birds flying to and from the Manukau Harbour feeding grounds. Upon the Chevron at its peak and showing fullfaced is a black bull's head which represents the dairying and other pastoral farming predominant throughout most of the City. Upon the two arms of the Chevrons are two black Cogwheels and these indicate the City's industrial areas. In the base of the shield there is a gold Lymphad (sailing ship) with Its sails set, and this signifies the arrival of the early settlers and also represents the shipping interests in the two harbours by which the City is bounded to the east and west. The two portions of blue on the Shield separated by the Chevron allude to the sea of the two harbours. | Two seagulls represent the birds flying to and from the Manukau Harbour feeding grounds.
