Flag of Australia

Australia doesn't have a flag with no stars.

If you are just referring to general flag that would look like an Australian flag with no stars, it is a Union Jack Ensign with a Navy Background.

The bird on the South Australian flag is the Piping Shrike, an unofficial faunal emblem of South Australia.

Blue background, with a union jack in the top left corner, the federation star in the bottom left corner and the southern cross on the right.

Green and Gold, while being our nations colours, are not part of the flag in any way at all. The flag contains Blue, Red, and White. The place where the term green and gold comes from is different depending on who you talk to, one story is the green is our land, and the gold is it being No1.

On its own, it doesn't really have a meaning. It is symbolic for the fact that the Southern Cross, a constellation only visible in certain latitudes of the southern hemisphere, was crucial in navigation for early ships. The Federation of Australia occurred for a number of reasons, among which was a strong sense of nationalism that pushed for an Australian Identity. When it came to choosing the flag, the people did not want to completely disregard former ties with Britain, so the Union Jack was retained. However, the southern cross was a symbol for Australia, along with the seven-pointed "Federation star".

The large star on the Australian flag has seven points. There is one point for each of the six states, and the seventh point represents all of Australia's territories, that is, the two mainland territories and the seven offshore territories. For this reason, the star is called the Federation Star, or Commonwealth Star.

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).

Following the proclamation of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901, the Commonwealth government held a design competition for a new national flag. Five almost identical entries were selected to share the 200 pound prize.

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.

No. None of the stars on the Australian glag symbolise Papua New Guinea, because PNG is not a territory of Australia any more - nor was it a territory when the flag was originally designed.

The Australian flag doesn't have a black background. It's blue.

The Aboriginal flag, however, includes a black stripe representing the Aboriginal people, but this is not the national flag.

There are no stars in the union jack. There are three crosses: England's St. George's cross, Scotland's St. Andrew's cross and Ireland's St. Patrick's cross.

There are, however, 6 stars on the Australian flag which has a union jack in the top left hand corner. The 5 stars that are on the right side of the flag represent a constellation of stars called the 'Southern Cross'. All of these stars have 6 points which represent the 6 states of Australia. The star on the left hand side of the flag is called Federation star. This is larger and has 7 points which represent Canberra and the Northern Territory.

The Union Jack is on the Australian flag because it reflects our major heritage. The big star is the Commonwealth star which has seven points, one for each state and one for the territories. The Southern Cross is a constellation that is visible from anywhere in Australia.

Flag of the Southern Cross was created in 1887.

The National flag was the Union Jack and our current design was the Colonial Ensign of the Commonwealth of Australia . On 3 September 1901, the new ( Colonial ) 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.

The Australian flag has six stars. The group of five stars to the right form the constellation of the Southern Cross, a valuable navigation aid to early sailors travelling through the southern hemisphere.

The sixth star, situated below the Union Jack, is known as the Federation or Commonwealth star. It has seven points, with six of the points representing the unity of the six states of Australia, and the seventh representing Australia's two mainland territories as well as its numerous external (offshore) territories.

The Australian Flag is basically a 'British Blue Ensign' that has had a major modification for local use. Australian stars have been added to it in a uniquely Australian design.

The importance of Australia is the blue around the stars, which represents the sea that surrounds Australia. The Australian flag also has light years that are the meanings for the stars and the Union Jack does not have a meaning to it. The Union Jack is the red part on the flag, the really big star in the corner.

No the current flag has only an historic link to Australias previous Colonial status . It no longer represents Sovereign Independent Australia ( since our complete separation from the UK in 1986 ) .

Queensland's Coat of Arms has a bull's head, a merino ram, a red deer (an introduced species) and the brolga (Queensland's official state bird).

Originally Australia was a penal (prison) colony. England sent out many of her criminals and dumped them here. They were governed by some soldiers and a few administrators and a few Christian ministers and virtually carved out the land from a "nothing start". They were tough men and some did bad things like killing aborgines and becoming outlaws or bush rangers and the whole place for a long time was a wild frontier. Australian men today still harken back to those early men and women and believe they are tough themselves but mostly modern Australian men are over-pampered and quite a lot have gone gay. For country folk it is still a hard life in the bush and I would say that the farmers were somewhat masculine guys. The great Aussie male is no longer what he once was, same in America with the great American male. I read one lady newspaper reporter a while ago saying that most of the last of the real men in Australia were the World War 2 soldiers. She might have been right. Most young Australian males have never known survival any further than the nearest McDonalds fast food shop. We also have no national service and the decay in our youth... e.g. alcohol, drugs, easy modern living... is not good for National defence. Not with so many large Asian armies to Australia's north.
