Measuring 900mm x 450mm, this medium-sized flag is printed on lightweight trilobal knitted polyester, a fabric specifically chosen for its durability, weather resistance, and ability to fly in the gentlest breeze. It’s a perfect choice for indoor and outdoor use, whether you're commemorating a special event, raising awareness, or simply flying it with pride year-round.


A Flag of Meaning and Movement

Designed in 1971 by artist and Luritja man Harold Thomas, the Aboriginal flag has become one of the most recognisable and meaningful emblems of Australian identity and reconciliation. Every colour in the flag holds profound symbolic weight:

  • Black – Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia, the oldest continuous culture on Earth

  • Red – Symbolises the red earth, the spiritual relationship to the land, and the blood spilled in the struggle for rights

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

This flag is more than just fabric—it is a visual statement of pride, resistance, and unity.
