A Majestic Symbol of Unity, Culture, and Sovereignty
The Aboriginal Flag (Fully Sewn) – 4570mm x 2285mm is more than just a flag — it is a monumental statement of visibility, recognition, and respect. Expertly handcrafted in Australia, this oversized ceremonial-grade flag is specifically designed for tall, permanent flagpoles—making it ideal for federal buildings, embassies, corporate headquarters, universities, and cultural institutions that require maximum impact and long-range visibility.
Measuring nearly 5 metres wide and over 2 metres tall, this flag is a visually commanding emblem that represents Australia’s First Nations people and their unbroken connection to the land for over 60,000 years.
A Flag with Deep Meaning and National Significance
The Aboriginal Flag was designed in 1971 by Harold Thomas, a Luritja man from Central Australia. In 1995, it was officially recognised by the Australian Government as a national flag, standing equally beside the Australian National Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag.
-
Black – Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia
-
Red – Symbolises the red earth, ochre, and the spiritual relationship with the land
-
Yellow – Represents the sun, the constant giver of life and light
Displaying this flag — especially at this scale — is a gesture of respect, recognition, and a commitment to truth-telling and reconciliation.
