Australian Imperial Force Red Ensign Flag's
In Australia, the Union Jack was the sole official flag for use on land until Federation. After the creation of the Australian flag, the Union Jack continued to be regarded as the national flag of Australia, though gradually such usage was shared with the Australian red ensign, and later with the Australian blue ensign.
The blue ensign was not officially adopted as the Australian National flag until April 14, 1954 after World War II when the Flags Act came into effect and only then did it begin to supersede the red ensign, with the Red Ensign becoming reserved as the Civil Ensign.
The blue ensign “Australian National Flag” was initially reserved for use by State and Government authorities only, reflecting British practice with its ensigns. The blue ensign “Australian National Flag's” initial reception was mixed. The 1901 republican magazine “The Bulletin” labelled it: “lacking the power to protest, and only dimly realising his will. That bastard flag is a true symbol of the bastard state…”
The Australian Red Ensign historically can be considered to be the “People's Flag” and from 1901 to 1954 the red ensign flag was used as a civil flag, to be flown by private citizens on land or on water (elements of oxygen and hydrogen (H2O)). The private civil Australian Red Ensign is different from the public Government blue Australian National Flag and represents a Sovereign state or private property/vessel.
The Big Picture, the opening of the Parliament of Australia on 9 May 1901, Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, Australia clearly depicts the Australian Red Ensign as painted by Tom Roberts. The painting by Septimus Power, of the opening of Parliament House by the Duke of York and Duchess of Kent in 1927, which used to hang in the Old Parliament House until the arrival of the Howard Government, reveals a Parliament House festooned with Union Jacks and Red Ensigns. There is not one Blue Ensign in cooee.
There is a wealth of documented pictorial evidence which proves that the red ensign was the flag which both the public, private and members of the Armed Services overwhelmingly related to and adopted as Australia′s de-facto national flag prior to 1954. This period of course includes the use of the red ensign by the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) throughout both World War I and World War II as clearly evidenced and especially remembered by veteran families that received the red ensign printed on the 1915 military correspondence envelopes known as the “Dardanelles Combined Letterette and Reply Sheet” and the “Killed in Action” sympathy cards, lest we forget.
The Breakwater Battery Museum at Port Kembla, NSW, operated by the State′s Maritime Services Board, displays a tattered 50-year-old red ensign, upon which is a stitched cloth sign: “Original Australian National Flag... The red flag was the standard Nat. flag from 1901 until after WW2. The blue Australian flag did not become general issue until after WW2. This is the flag our troops fought under in World Wars I and II.”
The Bega Pioneers Museum holds two Australian red ensign flags that the AIF flew on Gallipoli Beach, and an Australian red ensign flag that flew at Tobruk by the “Rat’s of Tobruk” and is signed by over 200 Australian and English servicemen who fought there, including a dozen local lads. The Changi flag, an Australian red ensign kept secretly by Australian prisoners of war, was bought by the Victorian RSL president, Mr Bruce Ruxton, in 1989 for $25,000 and the Australian War Memorial preserves Australian red ensign flags used during the war period and for cooee the recruitment marches around the country.
While recognising the enormous sacrifices of Australian servicemen and women, the fact remains that the blue Australian flag as we now know it, did not come into widespread use until it was proclaimed by the Menzies Government in the Flags Act of 1953.
The Red Ensign referred to as “Merchant Ships” flag is depicted as the most valuable ensign flag stamp ($1.20) in a set of 4 Australia Post stamps released for Australia Day 1991. The stamp set also includes the light blue (Air Force) ensign ($1.00), white (Navy) ensign (90c) and blue (National) ensign flag being the least valuable (43c).
Australian Red Ensign - Parliament Speech Stephen Jones MP 2016
Under the International Law of the Flags, the type of flag displayed on property/vessel decrees the law that applies in that jurisdiction (extent or range of the geographic area or sphere of activity over which the judicial, law enforcement, or other authority extends) or aboard that vessel. By going onto the property or aboard the vessel you are entering into a foreign jurisdiction/area/state/country/entity and accepting the jurisdiction of the law that applies to the flag displayed. The same applies to missions and embassies. The flag flown ensures that the law of the area/state/country/entity they represent applies within the confines of the mission or embassy when situated in a foreign jurisdiction.
The ensign is usually flown in the air on land or water to indicate its appurtenance (right or restriction which goes with that property; greater importance or value) or jurisdiction (extent or range of the geographic area or sphere of activity over which the judicial, law enforcement, or other authority extends). While this may include its nationality or jurisdiction, it may well indicate more information (e.g. laws, codes, rules and regulations, private, public, civilian, military, or other organisations property) as defined from representing the official national flag’s jurisdiction.
The civil ensign, also known as merchant flag or merchant ensign, is the national flag flown by civil ships to denote nationality. Countries may have a national flag for most purposes on land, a distinct civil ensign for non-military ships, and a naval ensign for the navy.

189-The Wild White Man
In 1835, settlers in Australia discovered a European man dressed in kangaroo skins, a convict who had escaped an earlier settlement and spent 32 years living among the natives of southern Victoria. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll review the extraordinary life of William Buckley, the so-called wild white man of colonial Australia.
We'll also try to fend off scurvy and puzzle over some colorful letters.

Sego Lily Dam Opening: Interview with SLC Council Member Amy Fowler
Salt Lake City Council Member Amy Fowler of District 7 talks about the opening of the Sego Lily Dam environmental art installation located on Parley’s Bike and Pedestrian Trail at the west end of Sugar House Park.
The Sego Lily is the largest environmental art installation located in an urban setting in the State of Utah. It also functions as a water retention and diversion dam. In the event that Parley’s Creek in Sugar House Park would flood during spring run-off or during an epic rain storm, the Sego Lily will direct the flow of water through the Draw (tunnel) and into Hidden Hollow where the flow would continue down the stream eventually making its way to the Jordan River. In such an event, the Sego Lily and the Draw will prevent the flow of water from going over 13th East and save Sugar House Park from flooding. It is also an amenity on the Parley’s Trail bike and pedestrian trail that connects the east and west neighborhoods of the city with Sugar House Park and the Sugar House Business District, providing a safe, off-street experience for bicycle commuters and recreational users alike.
The Sego Lily and Echo Canyon wall were designed by world-renowned environmental artist Patricia Johanson, whose design won a national competition against other well-known artists. Her research of Utah pioneer history and attention to detail is unmatched. She has other installations located in Texas, California, Brazil, Kenya, and Korea. Her works have been featured in multiple publications and film documentaries. The Sego Lily design has been recently recognized by the Snite Museum of Art at Notre Dame University. Johanson will be recognized in October as a Distinguished Scholar at McMaster University in Toronto, Canada, for her work in environmental art. For more information on Patricia Johanson go to
