rewrite

Man, I've got to stop taking on pages that need to be rewritten. It takes too much time, and looking at the result at the end of it all I'm never sure if it was worth the effort. Oh, well. 'Tis done now. Most of the information was taken from FotW (most stuff on the Web sources FotW, and my personal library is sorely lacking when it comes to the history of colonial flags), which really is a fantastic resource. Alas, the images there are all under a non-commercial licence, so they can't be used for some reason.

Oh, and there's still a bit more work can be done on this page. I just don't know enough to do it m'self. --fuddlemark 02:37, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


-Inclusion-

"The flag looks similar to the Eureka Flag, which was designed in 1854, and some expert historans have advanced the view it was based on earlier designs used in the colonies including the Federation flag."

I have included this information on the basis it is true: emminent men have theorised the National Colonial flag and the Federation flag provided the template for the Eureka flag.
