The Australian flag has a blue background with the Union Jack, the flag of Great Britain, in the upper left corner. It also has a group of stars that represent the Southern Cross constellation, the Commonwealth Star, and the crosses of St George, St Andrew, and St Patrick. 

The Commonwealth Star is the emblem of Australian Federation. The Six points represent the states and the seventh all the federal territories which together constitute the nation, the Commonwealth of Australia.

The flag symbolizes Australia’s identity, history, land, people, and values. It shows Australia’s connection to the British Empire and its federation of states and territories. The flag is treated with dignity and belongs to all Australians equally.
