A Large-Format Symbol of Cultural Pride – Handcrafted in Australia

Fly a flag that speaks with dignity, resilience, and power. The Aboriginal Flag (Fully Sewn) – 2280mm x 1140mm is a professional-grade flag designed for high-visibility applications, formal settings, and ceremonial events. This larger format ensures it makes a bold impact whether flown on a public building, school grounds, business headquarters, or during national commemorations.

Unlike printed flags, this version is fully sewn, meaning each colour—black, red, and yellow—is cut from individual panels of colourfast fabric and stitched together with precision and care. The result is a premium, durable flag that not only lasts longer but commands respect in every detail.

The Flag and Its Symbolism

Created in 1971 by Harold Thomas, a Luritja man from Central Australia, the Aboriginal Flag has become one of Australia’s most recognisable national symbols. It was declared an official flag of Australia in 1995 and is now freely available for public use.

Each colour carries profound cultural significance:

Black – Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia
Red – Symbolises the land and the spiritual connection to Country
Yellow – Depicts the sun, the eternal giver of life

Flying this flag is an act of recognition. It’s a statement of respect, reconciliation, and unity.
