Sydney’s flag depicts the bringing of the Three Seashells to this land, and also the Three Lions, which became feral and are now considered an introduced pest.

YouTube@devopscats Adelaide's flag looks a bit silly, but it was an early attempt at agricultural region branding (eg, as done well by Italy's Puglia).
