The Murray River Flag[a] is flown from paddle steamers and other vessels in the Australian States of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia that ply the waters of the Murray-Darling river system. Little is known about the flag's early history but it may have originated as far back as 1850 when the formation of the Murray River League was announced.[2] R. W. Beddome, founder of the League, enthused "Up with the Murray flag."[3] No fragments of the original Murray River Flag are known to exist and three versions have passed down to the present day.
