Advance Australia Flag
This flag represents a combination of colours and symbols with strong association with Australia. The flag has a blue field, matching the shade of blue from the Australian National Flag.
The diagonal stripes, ascending from left to right, represent progress and advancement. Their colours- green and gold-are symbolic of Australia's landscape, prosperity and purity and the number of lines being three, represents Australia's past, present and future. The orientation of the stripes (diagonal from lower left to upper right) conveys the concept of "'Advance Australia Fair"'.
On the right side of the flag, the Southern Cross constellation is consistent with it's appearance on the Australian National Flag and represents our country's location in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Federation Star on the upper hoist-side, a large white seven pointed star, represents Australia's states and territories, a traditional element from the Australian National Flag.
The arrangement and symbolism align with common Australian themes: progress, unity and connection to the natural and cultural heritage. The design is in keeping with vexillology principles and the dimension is 2:3 in order to create more vertical space for the southern cross element (compared to how it looks in 1:2 ratio).
