It is neither logical nor heraldic that the wavy lines represent clouds as stated in the second interpretation. There is a perfectly good design for clouds (known as nebuly), as can be seen on Brisbane's coat-of-arms. What would be the connection between Brisbane and the sky peeking through the clouds? No, the white wavy lines represent the sea and the river with which Brisbane has such an intimate connection. Caeruleancentaur ( talk) 11:35, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
According to the article, "[t]he three caducei in these sections, rather than their usual association with medicine, again represent commerce..."
As far as I'm aware, the caduceus has little to nothing to do with medicine. That's the rod of Æsculapius. Am I wrong here or should the article be altered? -- JadziaLover ( talk | contribs) 11:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know why the flag has six quarterings, instead of the usual four, or even just two separated per fess or per pale? Caeruleancentaur ( talk) 14:00, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
