Australia red ensign
The Australia red ensign is a replica of the Australian maritime flag.
The flag features the Union Jack on a bright red field, with the Southern Cross constellation and Commonwealth star and was flown in 1901.
The Australia red ensign has seen minor changes since its adoption in 1901. The Southern Cross star points altered from five stars with nine, eight, seven, six and five points respectively, to four stars with seven points and one with five points. The original variety of points was an indication of the relative brightness of each star as it appeared in the night sky. In 1908, the current Commonwealth star of seven points replaced the earlier six-pointed star.
The Australia red ensign is made from durable superknit polyester material and features double stitched edging, reinforced eyelet hoist, and is produced with stay fast colour printing processes, is approximately 3 feet x 5 feet. The Australia red ensign can be attached to a flag pole, mounted on a wall or fixed to display in a window in your home, your club room, your work place, a shop, hotel or anywhere your Australia red ensign theme desires!
The 3x5 foot Australia red ensign has a virtually endless life span when used as an indoor wall hanging or window decoration. Depending on the outside environmental elements and the amount of time the flag is flown outside it can last anywhere between 3 to 6 months.
