Australian Aboriginal Flag. Nice colours, nice design. What's not to like?

Clearly I should see myself out after my choice this round

Chimbu

Like that shade of green and although there is a lot going on in that flag, it works

Zaph · 08-02-2021 10:35PM

Chimbu, that's a spectacular flag

Purgative · 08-02-2021 10:37PM

Chatham Islands original and pleasant to look at.

The other thing is way too busy

SineadSpears · 08-02-2021 10:37PM

Don't worry - until everyone starts calling you Liz

SineadSpears · 08-02-2021 10:40PM

Ok so there's way too much going on in the Chimbu. & I don't even know what the heck the other one is supposed to represent so.... abstaining on this one

Chatham Islands

The unofficial flag of the Chatham Islands (Wharekauri in Maori; Rekohu in the indigenous Moriori language) is a blue field with a map of the island in the centre, the Te Whanga Lagoon depicted in white. Behind this device map is a depiction of the rising sun, an allusion to its local name Rekohu, meaning 'rising sun'.

Chimbu

The bird of paradise and Southern Cross from the national flag are combined with two red spears (representing leadership), a white chain (for unity) and a yellow coffee branch (for the main cash crop).

It's a great flag, potential finalist?

Chimbu for me

Appeals to my eyes more, don't know what it is but I like that I can make it up. Today it's a moosehead

That paint blob is the shape of the island.

In my defense, I'm multitasking atm. I've about three boards tabs open because I'm listening to music, trying to add them to my playlisys, and trying to make a start on my noms for another game lol. So I'm a bit all over the place

Barred from thread for 2 weeks for suspected Covid breach.

That will do us for Day 2 of this trip to the far flung part of this ball of water and rock we call home. Tomorrow we should finish off Round 1, there's still plenty more beauts to behold. Until then friends, stay well.

If I really disliked a flag the symbolism wouldn't matter but I do love to learn what they mean and it could sway me if it the symbolism was particularly good.

Thanks Omackeral. Really sorry to miss the start of this. Will look over the others now and see what I missed.
