The Dingo Flour Sign is a well-known landmark of a stylised silhouetted dingo in red (in the 1950's and 1960's it was painted in black) on the side of an historic and heritage-listed working flour mill that was built in 1922
The dingo logo was painted by artist Les Nash in 1940 for £40 ($80). It is about four storeys high. The Dingo was the first recognisable object sailors, refugees and migrants coming to Fremantle saw and it remains a useful reference point for boaters and anglers.
