Australian National Flag — Knitted Polyester, 1800 × 900 mm
Proudly Australian made · Lightweight knitted polyester · Header and hoist loops · Free standard shipping Australia-wide
Some things deserve to be done properly. Flying the Australian flag is one of them.
There is a quiet dignity in seeing those familiar stars catch the morning breeze. Above a school, outside a country hall or at the front of your home, the flag becomes part of the place: present for its celebrations, its solemn occasions and the ordinary days that give a community its character.
Made in Australia by Carroll & Richardson Flagworld, this 1800 × 900 mm Australian National Flag combines a generous display size with lightweight knitted polyester that moves readily in a light breeze. Finished with a reinforced canvas header and two hoist loops, it is a practical choice for everyday outdoor display and occasions that call for a little ceremony.
🇦🇺 Made in Australia, ready to fly
Choosing an Australian-made flag gives its display an added meaning. It supports local manufacture while putting a familiar national emblem where it belongs: out in the world, being used and cared for.
At 1.8 metres wide and 90 centimetres high, this flag makes a substantial display above school grounds, community buildings, businesses and homes. Its blue field, Union Jack, Commonwealth Star and Southern Cross carry clearly recognisable detail in a traditional 2:1 format.
🌬️ Why choose knitted polyester?
Knitted polyester is a useful choice when you want a flag that responds readily to the breeze. Its lightweight construction allows the fabric to lift and move without needing a strong wind, making it well suited to everyday flying in mild to moderate conditions.
This is a printed knitted-polyester flag. When comparing products, check both the fabric and the attachment style so you choose the right combination for your location and flagpole.

🪢 A practical fitting for your flagpole
The reinforced canvas header runs along the flag’s hoist edge, nearest the pole. Two hoist loops provide attachment points for suitable flag clips on a halyard, the rope used to raise and lower the flag.
Before ordering, check that your pole’s fittings accept hoist loops and that the pole is rated for a flag of this size in your local conditions. Flagpoles and mounting clips are sold separately.
For a pole that passes through a fabric sleeve, choose the 1800 × 900 mm Australian National Flag with sleeve. You can also browse our flagpoles and accessories.

🧼 Give it the care it deserves
A flag spends its working life exposed to sunlight, wind and weather. A little attention helps keep it presentable and reduces avoidable wear.
- Lower it before severe weather or strong winds.
- Keep its flying path clear of branches, walls and other abrasive surfaces.
- Check the fly edge, header and attachment points regularly for wear.
- Hand wash in cold water with mild soap; avoid bleach and tumble drying.
- Allow it to dry fully before folding and storing in a cool, dry place.
Service life depends on exposure, flying hours and care. Replace a flag when it becomes badly faded or damaged so the display continues to reflect the respect behind it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this flag made in Australia?
Yes. It is manufactured in Australia by Carroll & Richardson Flagworld.
Is the fabric knitted or woven?
This model is knitted polyester. It is the lightweight printed option in this size; the fabric specification matters when comparing it with other flags in the range.
Does it come with clips or a flagpole?
The flag has a reinforced header and two hoist loops. Clips and the flagpole are purchased separately.
Will it fit my existing flagpole?
Check that your pole uses clips compatible with hoist loops, and follow the pole manufacturer’s recommended flag size. Pole height alone does not determine suitability; local wind exposure also matters.
Can I leave it flying in all weather?
It is suitable for everyday outdoor display, but should be lowered during severe weather and strong winds to reduce damage. Regular inspection and careful storage also help extend its useful life.
