Australia’s Victorian state government will fly the Aboriginal flag permanently atop Melbourne’s West Gate Bridge to recognise its importance as a symbol of unity, identity, and resilience for Aboriginal people in Victoria.

This comes less than a month after the New South Wales Government announced the iconic flag would be flying atop Sydney Harbour Bridge by the end of the year.
