Designed by Betty & Bradley Johnston of Murrumbateman it was said to have been originally designed to raise funds for two charities – Cerebral Palsy Ass. of Australia and the Motor Neurone Ass. of Australia. However, it was officially launched as the State tartan on 4th May 2000 at Glen Innes.
The red represents the colour of the Waratah, the State flower, and the St George cross on the New South Wales coat of arms. The gold represents the lion and stars on the arms and the colour of the national flower, the wattle.
