A Statement of Culture, Community, and Commitment – Crafted to Stand Tall
The 2400mm x 1200mm Aboriginal Flag (Fully Sewn) is a visually commanding and ceremonially significant flag designed for formal, long-term display on tall flagpoles. This size is ideal for official buildings, educational campuses, corporate headquarters, and major events, where scale and presence are essential.
Individually dyed panels of black, red, and yellow woven polyester are meticulously sewn together by skilled Australian flagmakers. This process results in a deeply textured, highly durable, and culturally respectful representation of one of Australia's most important national symbols.
About the Flag – Symbolism Woven into Every Thread
The Aboriginal Flag, created by Harold Thomas in 1971, is more than a design—it's a living symbol of the world's oldest continuing culture. It was first flown at the land rights rally in Adelaide and has since become a unifying emblem of identity, recognition, and sovereignty for Aboriginal people across the continent.
-
Black – Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia, past and present
-
Red – Reflects the sacred red earth and the deep spiritual connection to the land
-
Yellow – Symbolises the life-giving sun and the enduring spirit of the people
Officially recognised as a national flag of Australia in 1995, and now freely usable under the 2022 Commonwealth agreement, this flag is more than a product—it’s a public pledge to inclusion, reconciliation, and respect.
