Western Highlands

Western Highlands - more unique.

Western Highlands, but what I'd really like is half and half

Purgative

I like them both, but Jiwacka.


Its unusual, pleasant on the eye, and they've put some effort into it.

Western Highlands
Green and black are good

Don't like the waistcoat pattern in the yellow part of the other flag!

Barna77

Jiwaka

Better colours, and the bird of paradise

Sawduck

Jiwaka for the yellow bird

cdeb

They're about as similar as two non-tricolour flags (or two navy flags with a Union Jack in the top left...) could be really. I reckon one cheated off the other.

So toss of a coin here - Western Highlands for the nicer shade of green.

Finely poised in this Papuan derby!

Cosmo Kramer

Two decent ones here, but Western Highlands gets my vote for the more pleasing colour scheme.

alchemist33

Two good ones but western highlands has just about the better colour scheme

KathleenGrant

Jiwaka for me.

(Busy earlier, apologies)

Tauriel

Western Highlands

The black seals it for me

SineadSpears

Also I don't know what the thing on the bottom left of Jiwaka is so its bothering me

Jiwaka, I prefer the yellow to the black

Australian Aboriginal Flag

Lovely sunrise/sunset look about it

ari101

I'm not really loving either...

South Australia; the overall colour scheme is less bothersome to my eyes.

Australian Aboriginal Flag, nice and simple

Natives v Colonisers - has to be the originals for me.

Australian Aboriginal Flag

Looks good. I'm too lazy to check but I bet it's very symbolic too

KathleenGrant

South Australia

The flag is based on the defaced British Blue Ensign with the state badge located in the fly. The badge is a gold disc featuring a piping shrike with its wings outstretched. The badge is believed to have been originally designed by Robert Craig, a teacher at the School of Arts in Adelaide, and officially gazetted on 14 January 1904.

Aboriginal Flag
The symbolic meaning of the flag colours

Black – represents the Aboriginal people of Australia
Yellow circle – represents the Sun, the giver of life and protector
Red – represents the red earth, the red ochre used in ceremonies and Aboriginal peoples’ spiritual relation to the land
