Stole it!!....pffttttttt...frogshit!!....
The Australian National Flag consists of a dark blue background (this was just the designers choice) with the Union Jack contained in the upper hoist (top left corner).
The Federation Star points towards the center of the Union Jack and has seven points. Each point represents the six Australian States and the Commonwealth Territories.
The five stars occupying the rest of the flag represent the Southern Cross(This constellation is always visible in the night sky from Australia, and was a valuable aid to navigation for the early explorers of this country.). The four larger stars, have seven points, and are equally sized. The small star has 5 points.
Official sizes are as follows: 91cm x 45cm; 137 x 69cm; 183cm x 91cm; 274cm x 137cm.
