Medium Size | Sewn for Strength | Australian Made | Ideal for Schools, Community Centres & Government Use

Display the Torres Strait Islander Flag with pride, precision, and purpose. This 1370mm x 685mm fully sewn flag is a mid-sized, high-quality option designed for daily outdoor flying, indoor display, and formal recognition of Australia’s Torres Strait Islander peoples. Crafted from heavy-duty woven polyester, each coloured section is cut from colourfast fabric and individually stitched together, creating a flag with lasting durability and a dignified, professional appearance.

The official design, created by Bernard Namok in 1992 and proclaimed an official flag of Australia in 1995, represents the land, sea, and unity of Torres Strait Islander culture:

• Green for land

• Blue for sea

• Black for the Torres Strait Islander people

• A central white Dhari (ceremonial headdress) and five-pointed white star, representing culture, island groups, and peace
