Very interesting.
Didn't know most of this
I miss the southern cross since moving to Canada :(
13 bits on one of my favourite miniature artists
The history of the flag is interesting.
That was interesting. A lot I didn't know there.
Hello!
Very interesting and informative post! Why is ROYAL added to your Air Force? There is no royalty in Australia? Is this a hangover from the British rule?
Best wishes!
Thanks for sharing. I know this flag pretty well because it's on my Aussie shampoo bottle, but I never knew how it came to be. (Thanks for visiting my TT)
Well,that's just cool. I love learning about other contries and their flags/history.
What a great list!
My list is up here. Stop by if you get a chance.
