The star in the center reveals the latitude of 23 Degrees South.For these types of flag the colours are linked to numbers, based upon the order of the rainbow. Red is 1; orange is 2, yellow, is 3, and blue is 5. Thus the field reads as 155 Degrees East by 23 Degrees South. The front star pointing down indicates a Southern Parallel, while the yellow pentagon indicates the Eastern Hemisphere.
