3 September - Flag Day in Australia
There are three official flags in Australia. The 3 flags of Australia include the Australian National Flag, the Australian Aboriginal Flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flag.
The Australian flag was chosen in 1901 after it federated and became an independent country, and was first flown in Melbourne on 3 September 1901. It was chosen in a public competition. It has a blue background and features the Union Jack, the Southern Cross, and the Commonwealth Star in its design. There is a debate in Australia about changing the flag. Australian National Flag Day was proclaimed by the Governor-General in 1996 to 'commemorate the day in 1901 on which the Australian National Flag was first flown'.
