Victoria
australiaaustraliastateblue ensign
The flag of Victoria is a British blue ensign with the state badge on the fly side, featuring the Southern Cross constellation of five white stars topped by an imperial crown known as the St Edward's Crown. The Southern Cross represents the state's location in the southern hemisphere, while the crown symbolises Victoria's status as a loyal Crown colony named after Queen Victoria.
Victoria's flag is one of the few Australian state flags that does not place its badge on a circular disc, making the Southern Cross and crown appear directly on the blue background.
Adopted: 1877
