Dingo Flour sign, Heritage-listed flour mill in North Fremantle, Australia

The Dingo Flour sign is a red silhouette of a dingo painted on the side of the Great Southern Roller Flour Mills silo in North Fremantle. The working mill complex, designed by architect J. F. Allen, includes silos, an office and laboratory. The sign is about five and a half storeys high and was painted using the silo's gridded panels to transfer the design.

Artist Les Nash painted the dingo logo onto the mill's silo in 1940 for £40, taking about a week. He first sketched the design on graph paper, then used the silo's gridded panels to scale it up. During World War II the sign was painted over, but its outlines remained faintly visible.

The red dingo sign serves as a navigation landmark for boats and represents the industrial heritage tied to grain production in Western Australia. It shapes how people remember the harbor and connects maritime activity with the region's economic past.

The sign sits within clear view of Stirling Highway and can be seen from both the road and the water. Regular maintenance protects it from the region's strong ocean breezes, keeping it in good condition throughout the year.

The dingo was painted by Les Nash in 1940 for £40, taking about a week; he first sketched it on graph paper, then used the silo's gridded panels to scale the design up. A persistent local myth credits the painting to businessman Alan Bond, a claim the Heritage Council records as part of the site's folklore.
