Flag of Victoria (state)
Australian state flag / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flag of Victoria is a British Blue Ensign defaced by the state badge of Victoria in the fly. The badge is the Southern Cross surmounted by an imperial crown, which is currently the St Edward's Crown. The stars of the Southern Cross are white and range from five to eight points with each star having one point pointing to the top of the flag. The flag dates from 1870,[1] with minor variations, the last of which was in 1901. It is the only Australian state flag not to feature the state badge on a round disc.
