At the bottom of the flag the blue waters of the ocean lap against the wide flat golden continent with the green coastal edge (forming the national colours of green and gold). The Southern Cross shines above the continent in the night sky framed by two stylised boomerangs honouring the original inhabitants. The boomerangs also represent human creativity and ingenuity and are interlocked representing the unity, peace and intermixing of all people who have come to live on the southern continent.
