The flag of Australia is based on the British maritime Blue Ensign – a blue field with the United Kingdom flag (Union Jack) in the canton or upper hoist quarter – augmented with a large white seven-pointed star (the Commonwealth Star) and a representation of the Southern Cross constellation, made up of five white stars – one small five-pointed star and four, larger, seven-pointed stars.

How to make it:

That’s the finished Australian flag as a banner all done! So now we want to put the Australian banner on our shield, but first we want a couple more of these banners so we can decorate the village with them.
- Put the finished Australian banner in the crafting table. Add more white banners next to it. Thats how you copy or duplicate the banners.
- Now put one of these Australian banners next to a shield in the crafting table and now you have a Australian shield! This only works in Java edition however! At least for now.
