The Australian flag is important to many people because it is the first flag designed when Australia federated (slight design alterations notwithstanding). It is the flag under which our defence forces fought in the two World wars and subsequent wars. The flag encompasses both our heritage and our independence from the nation that founded Australia.
Each of the components of the Australian flag holds significance.
The Union Jack symbolises Australia's links to Great Britain.
The Southern Cross symbolises the great "south land" which so many sailors and explorers sought; the Southern Cross was also a significant navigational aid in the 1600s and 1700s.
The Commonwealth Star symbolises the union of the states and territories.
