Northern Territory South Australia Heritage Flag

For 48 years from 1863 to 1911 Australia's Northern Territory was a part of South Australia.  In honor of this historical footnote, here is the Northern Territory South Australia Heritage flag that commemorates this fun fact.  It's design is based upon the badge for South Australia and flag for Northern Territory. Northern Territory is unique since it shares two heritage flags since if was once a part of South Australia and New South Wales.

Tasmania New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 37 years from 1788 until 1825 Tasmania was a part of Australia's New South Wales.   But Tasmania's maiden name was Van Diemen's Land.  In 1856 Tasmania reinvented herself with an Aboriginal name, switching from the Dutch sounding Van Diemen's Land to Tasmania.

Tasmania broke away from New South Wales before the genesis of New Zealand, ironically New Zealand would keep her Dutch name, but Van Diemen's Land would not. 

The flag of the Tasmania New South Wales heritage flag is based upon the designs of current flags for New South Wales and Tasmania.

Queensland New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 71 years from 1788 until 1859, the Australian state of Queensland was a part of New South Wales.  In honor of this historical fact, here is a post modern heritage flag that commemorates this relationship.  The design of the flag is based upon the fusion of the New South Wales flag with the modern badge of Queensland.  The upper red region denotes that Queensland is on the north eastern side of the continent.

Queensland is essentially Oregon's temporal twin born down under, or rather Oregon is Queensland's twisted time twin born up and over.  Reason being both states were created in 1859, and for the record Oregon is four months older.  The US's Oregon being an Aquarius while Queensland is a Gemini.

Victoria New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 63 years Victoria was a part of New South Wales, from 1788 until 1851.  Thus you can think of Victoria as being California's Southern Cousin down under.  The Victoria New South Wales Heritage flag is based upon the flag of New South Wales and Victoria.  The coloured yellow quadrant is a reminder that Victoria is on the southern eastern side of Australia. Victoria was the first state born after New Zealand was separated from New South Wales.

South Australia New South Wales Heritage Flag

If New South Wales is the Alpha Dog of Australia, then South Australia is the Gamma Dog.  South Australia is the third state to be born out of New South Wales the same year Arkansas became a state - that was 1836.  South Australia was around to remember when New Zealand was still an adjunct area of New South Wales.

The design of the flag is based on fusion of flag: New South Wales and South Australia.  

Northern Territory New South Wales Heritage Flag

For 75 years from 1788 until 1863 Australia's Northern Territory was a part of New South Wales.  In honor of the period, here is the Northern Territory New South Wales Heritage Flag.  The design is based upon a fusion of the Northern Territory flag with the flag of New South Wales.

New Zealand New South Wales Heritage Flag

The New Zealand New South Wales Heritage flag is a post modern creation that honors the history of Australia and New Zealand.  Although New Zealand and Australia are two completely different nations that have distinct cultures and accents, they were once united as one political entity for quite a while.  New Zealand was a part of New South Wales for 52 years from 1788 until 1840.  Thus in honor when New Zealand was attached to "Australia's Virginia", this flag commemorates their mutual heritage.  

The design is a fusion of the modern New South Wales flag and popular New Zealand Fern Flag.  The Lion has changed colours to white and the stars have been altered as double coloured Kiwi stars.
