On the outskirts of Perth a football club runs out each week wearing a badge that would look instantly familiar to anyone from the Isle of Man.
It is the island's three-legged triskelion, but with a footballing twist.
The team is on the other side of the world, in Australia, about 9,200 miles (14,800km) from Douglas, so is this a mistake?
No... The logo was created as a deliberate tribute to three Manxmen who settled on the land more than a century ago.
In February 1905, Ernest Kerruish, an accountant from Union Mills, boarded a ship headed to Albany, Western Australia, with his wife Blanche, his brother-in-law Arthur Eaten and John Creer, a young farmer from Marown.
