Page "Governor of New South Wales" Paragraph 17

The Viceregal Salute — composed of the first and last four bars of the National Anthem (" Advance Australia Fair ")— is the salute used to greet the governor upon arrival at, and mark his or her departure from most official events, although " God Save The Queen ", as the Royal Anthem, is also used.

To mark the viceroy's presence at any building, ship, aeroplane, or car in Australia, the governor's flag is employed.

The present form was adopted on 15 January 1981.

The shield of the Royal Arms of New South Wales crowned with the St Edward's Crown is employed as the badge of the governor, appearing on the viceroy's flag and on other objects associated with the person or the office.
