Australian Flag - Official National Symbol of Australia #17877 (License: Personal Use)

The Australian flag consists of a deep blue field with the Union Jack in the canton, symbolizing historical ties to the UK; a large seven-pointed Commonwealth Star below it representing the six states and territories; and five white stars forming the Southern Cross, denoting Australia’s location in the Southern Hemisphere. Officially proclaimed in 1901 after a public competition, it has undergone minor modifications but remains a powerful symbol of national identity and unity.
