The Australian flag came into being after the Federation of the States into the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901. A design competition was held, and five almost identical designs selected to share the prize.

On 3 September 1901, the new Australian flag flew for the first time from the top of the Exhibition Building in Melbourne. The flag was simplified, and approved by King Edward VII in 1902.
