The River Murray Flag first appeared at Goolwa to honour the first paddlesteamer on the Murray River. The flag was described by a reporter of the Australian Register..."The flag bears a red cross with four horizontal blue bars. The cross being charged with five stars as emblems of the Colonies while the upper corner, is taken up with British connections which is depicted by the Union Jack. It has been named, we understand, the Murray River Flag. It has been said that the blue bars represent the four major rivers that run into the Murray River, the Murrumbidgee, Lachlan and the Darling.

Today the River Murray is represented by two flags, each flag similar, except for the colourings of the blue bars depicting the four major rivers.

The Upper Murray Flag (as shown left) is represented by the darker blue bands upon it's flag, this represents the often darker almost black/blue water colour of the upper reaches.
