The current Australian flag was design in 1900 for a British overseas possession and for that purpose it was perfectly valid . But today Australia is a completely separate country in its own right ( see Australia Acts 1986 ) . The flag should indicate our current status - not what we once were .
The union jack on the Australian Flag is from the first white people to settle on our land, the British. The British flag is JUST the union jack, so, to celebrate the people who first settled in Australia, we have their flag in part of OUR flag. Hope that helps :)
The Australian flag was chosen from thousands of entries in a competition held in 1901. 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.
Australia's national flag was first flown on 3 September 1901. However, this was not the first flag to fly in Australia. The first flag flown on Australian soil was the British flag, when the First Fleet arrived on 26 January 1788.
Prior to the Australian flag, all the colonies of Australia observed the Brirish flag.
The stars of the Southern Cross were included on the Australian Federal flag when it was devised in 1901 . It was widely used on colonial flags prior to 1901 . The first use of it was on a colonial flag in 1823 .
