🔴🟡⚫ What the Flag Represents

The Aboriginal Flag, created in 1971 by artist and activist Harold Thomas, is one of the most recognised and significant symbols in Australian culture. Each colour holds deep meaning:

• Black – Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – Symbolises the red earth and the spiritual connection to Country

• Yellow Circle – Depicts the sun, the constant giver of life

Formally recognised as an official flag of Australia in 1995, and placed into public ownership in 2022, this flag is now free for all Australians to use, display, and honour as a living emblem of cultural pride, unity, and reconciliation.

✅ Key Features:

• Australian Made
  Produced locally to the highest quality standards, ensuring cultural respect, authenticity, and durability. Supporting Australian jobs and Indigenous representation.

• Trilobal Knitted Polyester Fabric
  The flag is made from lightweight, weather-tolerant trilobal polyester, designed to fly in the lightest breeze yet remain strong enough to endure the elements over time.

• Vertical Sleeve Finish
  A professionally stitched sleeve replaces the traditional header and hoops, enabling fast and tidy installation over banner poles, indoor display rods, or vertical wall-mounted arms. No flag clips required.

• High-Quality Screen Printing
  Printed using fade-resistant, UV-stable inks that keep colours rich and vibrant even under the harsh Australian sun.

• Double-Stitched Edges for Durability
  The edges of the flag are reinforced with double stitching to ensure long-term use and prevent fraying or wear from frequent flying.
