In , with the accession of Edward VII, this crown was replaced with the crown of St Edward, and the flag has not changed since then. Colin Dobson , 5 September The official history from the State government contains a statement which on the face of it appears to be a mistake. If this is accurate it would appear that the State of Victoria preceded at least in theory the general adoption of the St Edward's crown by some 50 odd years.
Christopher Southworth , 5 September The words quoted by Christopher Southworth are taken from the State Flag sheet from the Insignia folder produced by the Protocol Section of the Premiers Department of the State of Victoria - no date, but probably about Like several other Australian state government insignia booklets, this document had significant errors, including that identified by Christopher.
The document should have stated that the "Tudor Crown" would replace the "Imperial Crown", and it should then have further gone on to state that in the "St Edwards Crown" was adopted. The relevant source is a Colonial Office despatch dated 14 June which requested that the use of the "Tudor Crown" be adopted throughout the colonies.
The Governor General of Australia had earlier requested each of the State Governors to provide advice on whether any of the new states wished to change their seals or flag badges having regard to the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January and the accession of King Edward VII.
The Victorian Premier Alexander Peacock advised Lieutenant-Governor Sir John Madden acting Governor on 27 August that there needed to be only minor changes to the Seal and the change to the drawing of the Crown on the state badge. This advice was communicated to the Secretary of State for Colonies in the despatch quoted by Christopher and a similar letter to the Governor General.
Another error on the Insignia sheet was that Victoria's first Colonial warship was described as H. Nelson , when it should have been H.
My copy of the publication had hand changed this error to the still erroneous H. It is strange that the title "Imperial Crown" has been transferred from the "St Edward's Crown", to the "Tudor Crown", when the former is similar in appearance to the "Imperial State Crown", while the "Tudor Crown" is not.

Ivan Sache , 30 April Martin Grieve notes that the Governor's website shows the stars as all having 7 poitns, unlike the Victorian flag, and Marc Pasquin observes that the same picture shows the crown as monochrome red, but Ralph Bartlett has provided a photograph taken in Government house on 28 July , showing the crown in full colour and the stars as in the Victorian flag.
May The only states to not use the state flag with crown above the badge are Victoria and Queensland, which both already have a crown in the their badge. Jonathan Dixon , 4 August It has been suggested that the inclusion of a yellow field in the Victorian State Governor's Flag adopted 18 April was "a private joke".
This is wrong. The golden-yellow field represents Victoria's gold rush past and its promise for a golden future. This very rare bird is found only in southern Victoria. It is 20 centimetres in total length. The upper body is olive-grey and the underparts for a yellow-green. They lay two pinkish, spotted eggs in a cup-shaped nest from August to December.
