Flag of the Australian Capital Territory

The Southern Cross appears as five white stars on a blue panel at the hoist, whilst in the centre of the goldfield in the fly is the modified Coat of arms of the city of Canberra.The 1988 competition, undertaken by radio station 2CC, was won by then-Chisholm resident Ivo Ostyn with a representation of the then-recently erected flagpole of New Parliament House in green within a yellow circle on a green background.In later years Ostyn spoke against his creation, indicating his preference for a simpler flag that did not bear the coat of arms.In 2024, the First Nations Party criticised the modification of the coat of arms that changed the colour of the left swan from black to blue as the black swan is meant to symbolise Indigenous Canberrans.You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.This Oceanian flag-related article is a stub.
