here I stand flag in hand
the noble symbol of our land
is that a tear in your eye
or just a fly?
Australia you little beauty
a reward virtual from sneaky
The flag of Australia consists of a blue field with the Union Jack in the upper hoist quarter, and a large white seven-pointed star known as the Federation or Commonwealth Star in the lower hoist quarter. The fly section contains a representation of the Southern Cross constellation, made up of five white stars.
The flag's original design, with a six-pointed Commonwealth Star, was chosen in 1901 from entries in a competition held following Federation, and was first flown in Melbourne on 3 September 1901. The seven-pointed commonwealth star version was introduced by a proclamation dated 23 February 1908. The dimensions of the flag were formally gazetted in 1934. The length of the flag is twice the width. In 1954 the flag became legally defined in, the Flags Act 1953, as the "Australian National Flag".
