You probably recognise the Australian flag, but what does it stand for? Well the top left hand corner is the Union Jack, the British flag, and it is a reminder of our history, and how we started out as being founded by the British, and that we are still a member of the Commonwealth today.
Next you have the large star directly below it, this is the Federation Star and represents the states and territories of Australia, it is also a symbol of unity of these states and territories.
Lastly you have the Southern Cross, a constellation of stars that can only be seen in the Southern Hemisphere, and it is a reminder of Australia's geographic location in the world.
So now you know, anyone want to tell us what the Chinese flag stands for?

I notice that the Australian flag and the Chinese flag both have a main star and a cluster of smaller stars. We look up at the stars as we look up to the flag.
ReplyDeleteWhat do the Chinese stars represent?
