Fly a flag that represents cultural pride, identity, and respect. This 2400mm x 1200mm Torres Strait Islander Flag, printed on lightweight knitted polyester, offers a commanding presence and is well-suited for flagpoles 9 to 10 metres tall.

Originally designed by Bernard Namok in 1992 and now one of Australia’s two official First Nations flags, the Torres Strait Islander Flag is rich with symbolism:

• Green panels signify the land

• The white Dhari (traditional headdress) symbolises Torres Strait Islander culture

• The five-pointed white star represents the five island groups and the unity of the Torres Strait people
