Aboriginal Flag (knitted) 2740 x 1370mm

Super-Large Format | Proudly Australian Made | A Statement of Cultural Pride, Respect, and Recognition

Fly a flag that speaks volumes.

This Aboriginal Flag – 2740mm x 1370mm is among the largest standard sizes available and is designed for maximum visual impact on tall outdoor flagpoles. Proudly manufactured in Australia, it is crafted from high-quality trilobal knitted polyester, a material specifically chosen for its combination of lightness, strength, and weather resistance.

This size is especially popular for public buildings, civic spaces, educational institutions, corporate headquarters, cultural venues, and large community events—where visibility, dignity, and respect are paramount.

🔴🟡⚫ A Flag of National and Cultural Significance

The Aboriginal Flag is one of the most powerful symbols in contemporary Australia. Designed in 1971 by Aboriginal artist and activist Harold Thomas, the flag was created for the land rights movement and has since become a recognised national emblem.

Each colour carries deep meaning:

• Black – Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – Symbolises the red earth and the spiritual relationship to Country

• Yellow – Depicts the sun, the giver of life and protector

The flag was proclaimed an official Australian flag in 1995 and, in 2022, copyright ownership was transferred to the Commonwealth Government—ensuring it is free for public use and shared as a national symbol of unity and reconciliation.

Cultural Insight

Flying the Aboriginal Flag is not only an act of respect; it’s a public acknowledgement of Australia’s First Peoples and their unbroken connection to land, culture, and community. When displayed correctly—often in trio with the Torres Strait Islander Flag and the Australian Flag—it represents a vision for unity, shared identity, and reconciliation.

It also aligns with cultural protocols and commitments made by many Australian organisations under Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs).

Whether flying in front of a school, community hall, government building, or regional property, this flag does more than mark the wind—it marks your commitment to cultural dignity and a stronger, united Australia.
