FABRIC: Colourfast treated polyester flag combines excellent durability with a low cost and attractive appearance offering outstanding value and looks great both outdoors and indoors and flies with very little wind.

Unless all flags on display can be raised and lowered simultaneously, the Australian National Flag should be raised first and lowered last. If there are two Australian National Flags, one can be flown at each end of a line of flags.

There are occasions when direction will be given by the Australian Government and/or the Government of South Australia for all flags to be flown at half-mast.

There are a few important things to keep in mind when returning a product you purchased. You can return unwanted items by post within 7 days of receipt of your goods.

On the Australian National Flag and Australian State flags, the Union Jack is placed in the upper left-hand quarter (known as the 'canton') nearest the flagpole. The canton is the position of honour on the flag and it should always appear in the upper left-hand corner when the flag is being flown (either horizontally or vertically).

Before the First World War, Samoa was a colony of the German Empire. German colonies used the flag of the Imperial Colonial Office. Black-white-red tricolour defaced with the Imperial Eagle. The Imperial German government intended to introduce specific flags for the colonies. Due to the subsequent loss of all overseas territories it prevented their official adoption. New Zealand occupied German Samoa in 1914 and officially gained control of the territory in 1919.

Where all flagpoles are the same height and positioned in a straight row, the Australian National Flag should always be positioned on the far left (meaning the left of a person facing the building).

Flags are flown at half-mast as a sign of mourning. Flags in any locality can be flown at half- mast on the death of a local citizen or on the day, or part of the day of their funeral.

The department provides a flag broadcast service to notify South Australian Government agencies on occasions that involve our Australian National, State and Aboriginal flag.

The department provides information and advice about the protocols associated with the flying of flags, including when to fly flags at half-mast.

The Australian National Flag takes precedence over all flags when flown in Australia or an Australian territory. It should not be flown in an inferior position to any other flag with the exception of the United Nations Flag on United Nations Day. The superior position is based on the formation of the flagpoles in a set, not the height of the flag on the flagpole.

The flag in this video is to show the quality of ALL Colourfast Treated Polyester Flags. This quality is the same for these world country flags.

When flying the Australian National Flag alone at a building which has more than two flagpoles, the Australian National Flag should be flown in the centre, or as near as possible to it.

The flag of Samoa was first adopted from February 24, 1949 for UN Trusteeships. It continuously applied for the state’s independence on January 1, 1962. It consists of a red field with a blue rectangle in the canton. The blue rectangle bares the constellation Southern Cross. Four large white stars and one smaller star.

To be notified about events, such as half-mastings and other nationally significant occasions, contact the Protocol Unit and ask to be added to their flag broadcast database.

When the flag is displayed vertically, the canton appears to be back-to-front, however as the canton is in the upper left-hand quarter, it is correct.
