The Aboriginal flag is divided horizontally into equal halves of black at the top and red at the bottom, and has a yellow circle in the center. Black symbolizes the Aboriginal people, the red represents the earth and the and the yellow circle represents the sun.
The Torres Strait Islander flag has three horizontal panels, the top and bottom panels are green and the middle one blue. These panels are divided by thin black lines. The green is for the land, the blue is for the sea and the black represents the Torres Strait Islander people. In the centre of the flag is a white dancers headress which is a symbol for all Torres Strait Islander people. Underneath the dari is a white five-pointed star. These five points represent the island groups in the Torres Strait and the white stands for peace.

What do Aboriginal people look like and do they really have extremely dark skin and blond hair?
I think the question should be 'Who is an Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person?'Since the early 1980's the Australian Federal Government has used a three point working definition to enable people to establish their eligibility for specific Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programs. According to that definition an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person is someone who:is of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent,identifies himself or herself as an Aboriginal person or Torres Strait Islander, andis accepted as such by the Indigenous community in which he or she lives.Each requirement must be satisfied. Physical appearance and lifestyle are irrelevant.Please refer to the following:Gibbs v Capewell and Others, 54 FCR 503M.
