HISTORY

Introduced March 23, 1848
Re-introduced in 1919 and again May 23, 1949
The British ensign in the left
hand corner is surrounded by five stars that form the Southern Cross and a sixth
to represent the Commonwealth. This design was picked in a competition in 1901.
There were some changes to the stars until a more precise flags was approved by
the king of Great Britain. The six points of the Commonwealth star were made to
represent the six states and the seventh stands for the Northern Territory and
the
six external territories of Australia.
