Best Answer

The Australian flag has six stars.

The group of five stars to the right of the Union Jack form the constellation of the Southern Cross, a valuable navigation aid to early sailors travelling through the Southern Hemisphere.

The sixth star, situated below the Union Jack, is known as the Federation or Commonwealth star. It has seven points, with six of the points representing the unity of the six states of Australia, and the seventh representing Australia's two mainland territories as well as its numerous external (offshore) territories.
