Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2005 12:43 amNice shot... but not - shame on those flying the national symbol in such a tattered condition. No, I am not some patriotic zealot!

Bring back to me sorrow memories of my national flag on the bunker of many of the outposts survived after a long night defense the horrible attack from the other side.

Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2005 9:35 amIt is a measure of being Australian that an image like that is more likely to elicit a chuckle than outrage. And it doesn't mean anything other than that we are not obsessive. IMHO anyway.

Just proves it would be hard to tear apart the foundation of the British Empire even if the colonies crumble around it.

It's what I love about being an Australian. We can laugh and be flippent in our unique way...but in other cultures someone would be beaten to death. Damn all flags.

Sorry all, but I'm proud of our flag. Great photo, but whoever flies this one should replace it.
My rels fought under the Aussie flag, my forbears were also pommy.
I won't try and burn you at the stake if you don't like our flag, but I am proud of it, including the little bit in the corner.
