Our Flagging Flag

For a long time Peter has felt concerned that Australia has not "bitten the bullet" and opted to change to our national flag design, and to dispense with the "colonial" Union-Jacked flag we have at present. After all, Canada changed their's and they have a sensational design that should last indefinitely.

Most Australians want a change to reflect our multicultural character but we just can't make a collective decision on what the change will be! There has been the occasional competition in past years but the process has stalled somewhere in the corridors power. Pity.

A few years ago Peter posted his preferred version on an internet site which is now non-existent. So here it is afresh. The concept is not super-original since some of the competition designs were similar. The design below incorporates the "Southern Cross" (Constellation Crux) in the sky, over a hot, dry land with a hint of a sunset. Hey, don't laugh! Anything is better than the embarrassment that presents our nation to the world.
