Aboriginal Flag (fully sewn) 5490 x 2745mm

A Towering Tribute to Culture, Identity, and Country

This monumental Aboriginal Flag, measuring an impressive 5490mm wide by 2745mm high, is one of our largest fully sewn offerings — a prestigious statement piece crafted for landmark locations. Whether flying high over parliament, a city hall, a reconciliation park, or a university campus, this flag makes an unmistakable impact: it is a symbol of strength, survival, and unity on a scale worthy of national pride.

Handcrafted in Australia to exacting standards, this ceremonial-grade flag is fully sewn, with each colour field – black, red, and yellow – individually cut and stitched together by skilled flagmakers. This technique produces a richer, more textured appearance than printed flags and offers superior durability in long-term outdoor installations.

A Flag That Speaks Volumes

Originally designed by Harold Thomas, a Luritja artist and activist, the Aboriginal Flag was first flown in 1971 and formally recognised as a national flag in 1995. It has become one of the most important and powerful visual representations of First Nations identity and resilience.

• Black – Symbolises the Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – Represents the sacred relationship with the land and its red earth

• Yellow – Depicts the life-giving sun and its spiritual importance

Flying this flag — especially at such commanding size — is a powerful gesture of truth-telling, inclusion, and cultural acknowledgement.
