The Golden Wattle flag acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the Traditional Custodians of this country and its waters. We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present.

A new flag for Australia

The Golden Wattle flag is designed to be a new symbol that expresses Australia’s national identity.

Over the last three decades, there have been many design proposals put forward for a new Australian flag. Most incorporate familiar symbols such as the Southern Cross, boomerang and kangaroo. 

Much like the wattle, these symbols are some of our most enduring national emblems and will always be part of our collective identity. 

The Golden Wattle flag finds inspiration in these symbols, drawing them in conceptually and concretely, to build on the story of who we are as a nation and a people.
