Fly a flag that represents cultural pride, identity, and respect. This 2400mm x 1200mm Torres Strait Islander Flag, printed on lightweight knitted polyester, offers a commanding presence and is well-suited for flagpoles 9 to 10 metres tall. Whether you're marking a national day of significance, outfitting a civic building, or honouring a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), this large-format flag ensures visibility and meaning in equal measure.

Originally designed by Bernard Namok in 1992 and now one of Australia’s two official First Nations flags, the Torres Strait Islander Flag is rich with symbolism:

• Green panels signify the land

• Blue represents the sea

• The white Dhari (traditional headdress) symbolises Torres Strait Islander culture

• The five-pointed white star represents the five island groups and the unity of the Torres Strait people
