About the flag
Chosen in a 1901 public design competition with tens of thousands of entries. The big seven-pointed Commonwealth Star stands for the six states, with the seventh point for the territories.
How to spot it: Dark blue with a big white star under the Union Jack and a white Southern Cross; New Zealand has red stars and no big star.
