Australia & New Zealand, who is the copycat?

Flag of Australia

These flag are nearly identical twins. The main difference are the stars. Kiwis have fewer red stars with a dash of white, while Aussies have more stars that are all white.

Like two siblings born nine months apart their sibling rivalry is intense. Aussies are the older sibling 1901, making Kiwis the younger 1907. They are very close and yet so far away.

Watch the Lord of the Rings to get a feel of New Zealand, in a fanciful past that never existed.
But watch the Road Warrior series to get a feel of Australia, in a fanciful future that never existed.

AUSSIE STAR

KIWI STAR

Currently the Hollywood Stars of Aussie and Kiwi Pride are in a sweet alignment. Hugh Jackman who played Wolverine in the X-Men Movies is the current top Action Aussie Hero while Russell Crowe is the top Action Kiwi Hero, best known for his role in Gladiator.

Although Australia is the much larger landmass, little New Zealand towers over Australia by several hundred meters!

OFFICIALLY MATCHING FLAGS

AUSTRALIAN FLAGS...................................... NEW ZEALAND FLAGS

NATIONAL FLAG PROPOSALS
that look a like

As Aussies and Kiwis struggle to create a new national flag it is almost inevitable that as soon as Kiwi proposes a flag, an Aussie will by chance also propose a nearly matching flag.
