Best Answer

The Australian flag does not have red stripes.

In the top right hand corner of the Australian flag is the Union Jack, the original flag of Britain, the country that colonised Australia.

The Southern Cross, positioned on the right hand side of the flag, is a constellation visible from all of Australia's states and territories, and which was vital to early ships' navigation.

In the bottom left hand corner is the Federation Star, a seven pointed star which represents the six colonies, with one point to represent Australia's many territories (mainland and offshore).
