The Australian flag was chosen in 1901. It was approved by British and Australian authorities over the next few years, but the exact specification of the flag changed several times. The current specifications were published in 1934, and in 1954 the flag became legally recognized as the “Australian National Flag”. Actually the flag is specifications are: a blue field with the Union Flag in the canton, and a large white seven-pointed star known as the Commonwealth Star in the lower hoist quarter.
