Dingo Flour sign, Heritage site at North Fremantle, Australia
The red silhouette of a dingo stands five stories tall on the white exterior wall of the Great Southern Roller Flour Mill building.
Artist Les Nash painted the original dingo design in 1940 for £40, using graph paper to transfer the image onto gridded panels.
The red dingo sign serves as a navigation point for boats and represents the industrial legacy of Western Australia's grain production history.
The sign undergoes monthly maintenance to preserve its appearance against strong sea winds, ensuring its visibility from Stirling Highway.
During World War II, authorities painted over the sign for security reasons, yet its outline remained visible through the covering paint.
