Please use this Logo on your stationary or as a watermark. I would love to see mail going all around the world with our Logo on it.
The Logo was designed in 2001 by June Dark in consultation with fellow descendants of Nathaniel and Olivia.
The elements in the design all represent Olivia and Nathaniel's lives.
The ship obviously represents the way they arrived here, and also that he was a skilled ship frame builder and the Family owned boats.
The mallet and chisel are tools of the trade for a carpenter and builder.
The windmill is symbolic of the Mills that Nathaniel built, both on Norfolk and in Australia. He built the first Post Type Mill in Australia and he is known officially as Australia's first Miller.
The brick wall represents the Foundation Stones of the buildings he built and also the founding of our Family and the development of our Nation.
Surrounding these elements is a ball and chain representing the fact they were convicts. the rope connected to the chain representing the fact they were convicts. The rope connected to the chain also represents their shipping business.
The outer circle represents the encircled family being held together by strong family bonds.
The wheat represents the fact they had ills and also farmed and grew crops.
The Motto.
"BUILDERS OF A NATION"
was chosen because Nathaniel and many of his sons and descendants were builders and they certainly went on to build Australia's largest family,
who with pride in their ancestors became a
"NATION WITHIN A NATION"
