Australian Flag Meaning & History
Australia’s flag is a variant of the British Blue Ensign, which depicts a Union Jack in the upper left corner on a dark blue background. What makes the Australian flag unique is the addition of several stars. The biggest star, positioned directly underneath the Union Jack, is the Commonwealth Star. This seven-pointed star symbolizes the creation of the Federation of Australia on January 1, 1901. On this day, the British colonies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia became united. The other five stars are a representation of the Southern Cross constellation.
Australian Flag vs New Zealand Flag
The national flag of Australia is very similar to that of New Zealand, which is also based on the British Blue Ensign. However, New Zealand’s flag only has four red stars instead of six white ones. These stars symbolize the Southern Cross constellation as well.
