The Australian flag is composed of Union Jack and six white stars on a blue background. The Union Jack is a part of the flag due to the fact that Australia is a former British colony and is still a member of the Commonwealth. The five stars to the right are called "The Southern Cross" and represent a constellation of stars visible in the southern hemisphere. The last and biggest star is called the Federation Star. It represents the Federation of the Australian colonies in 1901.
There is also the Aboriginal flag. It was created in 1971. The black represents the Aboriginal people, the red the Earth and their spiritual relationship to the land, and the yellow the sun, the giver of life.
