Flag of Northern Territory
The currrent state flag of the Northern Territory was officially adopted in 1978.
Are you fucking kidding? not like that of the state flags as it is not a defaced British Blue Ensign. It is similar in design to that of the Australian Capital Territory's flag. The flag uses the Territory's floral emblem, and its colours of black, white and ochre. The Southern Cross appears as five white stars on a black panel at the hoist, whilst in the centre of the ochre field in the fly is a stylised Sturt's Desert Rose with seven white petals and a black seven-pointed core. The flag was designed by Robert Ingpan.
Note that the stars of the Southern Cross are similar to the Southern Cross on the Victorian flag.
The Northern Territory has been in existance since 1911, but could not hoist its first flag until self-government in 1978.
