What is the Australian flag?

There is an English rice flag near the upper corner of the flagpole, and a white seven-pointed star near the lower corner of the flagpole. The historical flag is the British flag.

The slanting flag shows the traditional relationship between Australia and Britain. The seven-pointed star symbolizes the six states and the Federal District that make up the Commonwealth of Australia. The rest have four larger white seven-pointed stars and a smaller white five-pointed star, representing the Southern Cross constellation over the Pacific Ocean. Blue symbolizes that the sea surrounds the Australian federal territory.

The origin of the national flag

The Australian flag was selected by King Edward VII of England from a design competition in 1904. At first, this flag was mainly used as the flag of the navy, and the oblique flag was the more commonly used national symbol.

1954 When the Queen of England visited Australia, it was officially confirmed that this flag was the national flag of Australia, but it was not until the 1960 s that this flag completely replaced the Miqi flag and became a national symbol.
