<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">The aboriginal flag was originally designed by a Luritja indigenous man from central Australia, Harold Thomas, during 1971. There are some variations of what each panel of the aboriginal flag represents, however, it is generally excepted that the black panel running along the top of the flag represents the aboriginal people, past, present and future. The red panel along the bottom half of the flag represents the land and the yellow circle in the middle represents the sun.

Similar to the Aboriginal flag, the Torres Strait Islander flag has various interpretations to its meaning. The green panels running along the upper and lower half of the flag represent the land, the blue panel running through the middle represents the water and the two thin, black lines represent the indigenous people. The white star in the centre of the flag is said to represent peace and its five points represent the five divisions of the Torres Strait region. The white headdress, a feathered dhari, represents all Torres Strait Islander people.
