Meaning of the flag of Australia
The Union Jack recalls Australia's history as a group of British colonies, and the Southern Cross marks its place in the Southern Hemisphere. Six points of the Commonwealth Star stand for the six states that federated in 1901, and the seventh for the territories. The design comes from a public competition held in 1901, the year Australia became a federation.
