The Australian Flag book
Our national symbol, the Australian flag, arouses deep emotions. Tens of thousands of Australians fought under it, others died for it. Yet there is a growing groundswell of feeling that - with its Union Jack in the corner - it's not the flag to take our independent sovereign nation into the 21st century. Feelings run hot on both sides.
This fascinating book looks at the history of our flag, and at other recognisably Australian banners - including the Eureka Flag, the Boxing Kangaroo and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Flag.
The Australian Flag - The first 100 Years is crammed with beautiful full-colour reproductions, cartoons and light-hearted photographs. Geoff Hocking brings a breath of fresh air to this timely topic.
