Our District Badge.

The unique Moonee Valley (was Essendon) district badge is in the shape of a gum leaf. It shows two aboriginal scouts making smoke signals with a long tube of rolled bark over a fire of dried grass. Such signals were sent by the best scouts of the area, who were sent ahead to contact the Ja-jow-er-ong people. They needed to seek permission from the Ja-jow-er-ong, who controlled the area around Mount Macedon, north-west of Essendon, to collect the special stone found only in that region for their axe heads.
The badge was designed by a Mr. Manley in time for the 1935 Frankston Jamboree.
