Aboriginal Flag (fully sewn) 1800 x 900mm

A Symbol of Strength, Stitched with Respect – Proudly Australian Made

This 1800mm x 900mm fully sewn Aboriginal Flag is the standard national display size, crafted for prominent visibility and enduring strength. Constructed from three individually dyed fabric panels—black, red, and yellow—this flag is carefully sewn together by skilled Australian makers to honour one of the most important cultural emblems of our nation.

Whether flying outside a school, town hall, embassy, cultural centre, or home, this flag carries significance, presence, and deep symbolism. It’s not just a product—it’s a public statement of recognition, reconciliation, and respect.

About the Flag – A National Emblem with a Global Message

The Aboriginal Flag was designed in 1971 by Harold Thomas, a Luritja artist and activist, in response to the growing need for a strong, unifying symbol for First Nations people. It was first flown during the land rights movement and was formally recognised as an official flag of Australia in 1995.

Each of the three colours carries powerful meaning:

• Black – Symbolises the Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – Represents the red ochre of the land and the spiritual relationship with Country

• Yellow – Depicts the sun, the constant source of life and energy

In 2022, the rights to the flag were transferred to the Commonwealth, making it freely usable by all Australians and reaffirming its national importance.

🧵 Why Choose a Fully Sewn Flag?

A fully sewn flag represents tradition, permanence, and respect. Unlike printed flags, each piece of fabric is cut, aligned, and sewn by hand, resulting in a rich, tactile flag with a stronger lifespan and a more official appearance.

• Durable for all climates and environments

• Deeper colour definition and stitching that adds dimension

• Meets official protocol standards for government and ceremonial use

• Used in schools, embassies, and public commemorations across Australia

This is the style of flag flown with pride on Parliament House, during NAIDOC Week, and at national landmarks.
