Flags of Australia

The flag of Australia consists of a defaced Blue Ensign: a blue field with the Union Jack in the canton (upper hoist quarter) and a large white seven-pointed star known as the Commonwealth Star in the lower hoist quarter. The fly contains a symbol of the Southern Cross constellation which is made up of five white stars, that is one small five-pointed star and four larger seven-pointed stars. It is one of the symbols of the Commonwealth of Australia, a country in Oceania that covers almost the entire continent and is composed of 6 states and several territories. There are other official flags representing Australia, its people and core functions of government.

The Australian national flag, also known as the "Blue Ensign" with a 1:2 ratio, serves as both a state flag and a national flag. Going back into the flag history, the flag used in the Australian Merchant Navy has the same design as the Australia flag, but it is on a red background: the "Red Ensign". The Royal Australian Navy Flag is on an white background. The Australian Air Force has a special flag on a light blue background with the most famous endemic Australian marsupial in the lower left corner: a red kangaroo on a light blue background. Australia celebrates Flag Day every year on 3rd September.

Buying Australian flags: All the secrets of the Australian flag and its stars

The star below the Union Jack is the star of the Australian Federation, with 7 branches, including 6 branches representing the six Australian states (Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland) and the 7th branch for the two Australian territories (the Australian Capital Territory Canberra and the Northern Territory).

On the right-hand side of the Australian flag is the constellation of the Southern Cross, a constellation of stars that allows you to find the South Celestial Pole while sailing. It should be noted that the design of the Southern Cross, consisting of a small 5-pointed star and 4 6-pointed stars, is also found on other flags of the countries of the Southern Hemisphere, such as the flags of Brazil, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Niue or Australian and New Zealand territories such as the Coco Islands, Christmas Island and the Tokelau Archipelago.
