A Bold, Enduring Symbol of Australia’s First Peoples – Proudly Australian Made

This 1800mm x 900mm Aboriginal Flag, crafted from premium woven polyester, is the official, full-size format used by schools, councils, government departments, and businesses across Australia. With its striking proportions and deep cultural significance, it is a powerful statement of recognition, identity, and unity.

Manufactured to the highest Australian standards, this flag combines strength, beauty, and purpose—making it ideal for both outdoor and indoor display in all weather conditions.

A Flag That Speaks of Survival, Spirit & Sovereignty

The Aboriginal Flag was created in 1971 by artist Harold Thomas, a Luritja man from Central Australia, as a rallying symbol for the land rights movement. It quickly became one of the most enduring and universally recognised emblems of Aboriginal identity.

Each of the three colours is steeped in meaning:

• Black – Symbolises the Aboriginal people of Australia

• Red – Represents the red earth, the spiritual relationship to Country, and the blood shed in struggle

• Yellow – Depicts the sun, the eternal source of life, warmth, and protection

Officially recognised as one of Australia’s three national flags in 1995, and made freely available to the public in 2022, it now stands proudly as a unifying emblem of culture, history, and future reconciliation.

Why Choose the 1800 x 900mm Woven Flag?

This size is the standard national format and is widely used for formal flag displays in conjunction with the Australian and Torres Strait Islander flags. The woven polyester fabric is designed to withstand prolonged outdoor use and deliver superior performance in demanding conditions.

Key Features:

• Generous Dimensions (1800 x 900mm)
  Perfectly suited for commercial flagpoles (6m–9m), civic buildings, schools, events, and ceremonies.

• Woven Polyester Construction
  The tightly interlaced fibres offer greater tear resistance, wind stability, and a crisp, smooth finish that holds its shape.

• Fade-Resistant, Vibrant Colours
  UV-resistant inks preserve the richness of the black, red, and yellow over time—even under strong sun.

• Reinforced Header with Twin Hoist Loops
  Easily attaches to halyard systems using standard flag clips, providing secure and tidy display.

• Double-Stitched Edging
  Sewn to withstand high wind areas and to minimise fraying over time.
