Comments

2025 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Torres Strait Islander Flag being officially proclaimed as a Flag of Australia. 

Designed by the late Bernard Namok in 1992, the flag holds deep cultural and historical significance for Torres Strait Islander people. Its elements reflect their identity: green for land, blue for sea, black for the people and white for peace. While the traditional Dhari headdress and the five-pointed star as the centre of the flag symbolise cultural heritage and the island groups. 

 

Issued in a capsule in a cardboard box.
