A radiant star group helped early sailors find their way to Australia as they voyaged for many months from Europe. Known as the Southern Cross, its 5 stars were useful night-time companions to the settlers and explorers. It became one of the first symbols of the Great South Land. When sailors explored the east coast of Australia in HMS Endeavour, they used the Southern Cross and the nearby brilliant pointer stars Alpha and Beta Centauri to find the south celestial pole, as navigators and bushmen still do today.

A world-wide competition to find the first Australian National Flag was announced by the Commonwealth Government, when the 6 colonies united as the Commonwealth of Australia, on 1 January 1901. In all, 32,823 entries were received from all over the world and from people of all ages and backgrounds, even an unnamed state Governor.

The Australian National Flag was first flown on 3 September 1901, when the then Prime Minister Edmund Barton announced the winning design and, since 1996, we have observed Australian National Flag Day on 3 September each year.

First Nations peoples formed images with the stars. Some saw the Southern Cross as the footprint of a giant wedge-tailed eagle, with the pointer stars as a throwing stick used to hunt it. The stars of the Southern Cross were also known to the ancient Greeks, who regarded them as part of the Centaurus constellation. In 1516 the stars were first described as a cross. They were recognised as a separate constellation early in the 17th century.

On a white background, the design became the white ensign and is used by the Royal Australian Navy. Other ensigns became the flags of the Royal Australian Air Force and Australian Government organisations responsible for civil aviation.

When Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, the red diagonal cross of St Patrick was added to the Union Jack.

The Commonwealth blue ensign, which later became the Australian National Flag, was developed from the winning entries. The same flag design, on a red background, was called the Commonwealth red ensign and used on Australia’s merchant ships.
