A Flag of Identity, Resilience & Pride — Proudly Made in Australia

More than a symbol, the Aboriginal Flag is a statement. A banner of enduring cultural strength, unity, and survival, this 1370mm x 685mm woven polyester version is designed for meaningful display—whether it’s flying high on a pole, carried in ceremony, or showcased with reverence indoors.

Constructed from durable woven polyester, this flag is specifically made for regular outdoor use, providing a combination of visual impact, long-lasting performance, and tactile quality. The vibrant colours, reinforced stitching, and Australian-made craftsmanship ensure that this flag stands strong, wherever and however it is flown.

The Meaning Behind the Colours

Created in 1971 by artist and land rights activist Harold Thomas, the Aboriginal Flag was designed during the peak of the Aboriginal land rights movement. It has since become one of the most recognised and powerful symbols of First Nations people across the country and the world. Officially proclaimed as a flag of Australia in 1995, it represents identity, connection, survival and strength.

Each colour holds powerful symbolism:

• Black – Represents the Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – Symbolises the red earth, the spiritual relationship with the land, and the blood shed in struggle

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

The act of flying this flag is a commitment to honouring the world's oldest living culture, promoting respect, and encouraging reconciliation.

Why Choose the Woven Edition?

This woven polyester edition of the flag is specially designed for those who want a premium, long-lasting, and professional-grade flag. Unlike lighter knitted versions, woven polyester offers:

• Stronger Fabric Integrity – Ideal for outdoor use or repeated ceremonial display

• Greater Resistance to Wind Fray – Perfect for coastal or exposed environments

• A Denser Weave – Providing a richer texture and more solid visual presence when flown

It’s a popular choice for schools, community centres, government buildings, cultural events, and homes where flags are flown regularly.
