Yes. Five stars are clearly visible, although the fifth one which does not mark the points of the cross is less bright.

The flag incorporates the background of the Australian flag including the Union Jack because of Australia's links with its 'mother country' Britain. The South Australian emblem is also on the flag. This shows a White Backed Magpie which is common throughout South Australia and known for its defensive nature and sweet song. The yellow circle represents the rising sun. At the time of its design in 1901, it was said to be the rising sun of the Commonwealth which was in its first year of existence.

Every star on the Australian flag does not have seven points. Each of the stars which form the constellation of the Southern Cross have seven points, except for the smallest which has just five - for no particular reason, other than that it is smaller. The others originally had between five and nine points each, but they were standardised by the British Admiralty for simplicity of manufacturing the flag.

Below the Union Jack is the Commonwealth Star, or Federation Star, which has seven points, one for each of the six states of Australia and the seventh representing all the territories, mainland and offshore.

In a nutshell: After the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed on 1 January 1901, the Commonwealth government held a design competition for a new national flag. There were 32,000 entries in the competition, and most featured the Union Jack, the Southern Cross, or native animals.

Five almost identical entries were selected to share the 200 pound prize. The entries belonged to Ivor Evans, a fourteen-year-old schoolboy from Melbourne; Leslie John Hawkins, a teenager apprenticed to an optician from Sydney; Egbert John Nuttall, an architect from Melbourne; Annie Dorrington, an artist from Perth; and William Stevens, a ship's officer from Auckland, New Zealand.

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.

The speakers are not "good"

An old guy like me that has a Spectra (Really) and had the stock sterreo die will find the stock speakers are OK, Needs a sub though, Will add one when I have the spare cash.

If you are under 45 I bet you will not be happy with the stock speakers.

But I urge you to try them, If they are good enough I am sure the money could go into a good sub. ; )

Because you are gay.

The rocker chair in the short story "With All Flags Flying" symbolizes the protagonist's aging and declining health. As he becomes more dependent on the chair, it serves as a physical representation of his mortality and the passage of time. The chair also becomes a source of comfort and stability for the protagonist as he reflects on his life and relationships.

No. The Australian flag did not exist at the time. Captain James Cook did not raise the British flag on the mainland, but on Possession Island in Torres Strait - claiming the eastern coastline of Australia for Britain.

The flag of Australia features three main colors: blue, white, and red. The background is a deep blue, with a white Commonwealth Star beneath the Union Jack in the canton and a constellation of white stars representing the Southern Cross on the right. The red is used in the Union Jack. Overall, the design reflects Australia's historical ties to Britain and its unique geographical identity.

No it's not

We shouldnt change the Australian flag because many ANZACs and Australians fought under our current flag. Also, our flag is very distinctive all over the world. It is attractive and can help promote our country. Also, its served us for 100s of years! Its served us as the chief national symbol by law, custom and tradition.

There is no reason why it should not change as we are no longer a part of the UK or British Empire . Retaining a defaced British flag now implies an allegiance we no longer have .

The Commonwealth Star (also known as the Federation Star) is unique to Australia. It is a seven-pointed star, with six of the points representing the six states of Australia, and the seventh point representing all the territories of Australia, e.g. the two mainland and numerous external (offshore) territories.
