Alcoa of Austrlaia Inc.

Alcoa of Australia Inc. was formed in 1961 as joint venture between Alcoa Inc. and an Australian consortium, one of which still owns 40%, the rest being Alcoa Inc. As shown by The Log of 11/1987 the flag is blue with a white oval charged with a flying bird which, I assume, is a swan seeing that the company was formed in Western Australia.
