The Australian flag features the Union Jack in its canton, symbolizing Australia's historical ties to the United Kingdom. The Southern Cross constellation, represented by four seven-pointed stars and one five-pointed star, signifies Australia's geographic location in the Southern Hemisphere. The flag was officially adopted on September 3, 1901, following a national competition to design a flag that reflected Australia's identity as a nation.
