Australia and New Zealand are countries known to be previously ruled by the British colony so it is no wonder their flags are quite similar in several ways. But still, there are subtle differences if one will just look closely.
(Australia Flag )
The Australian flag has what they call Commonwealth Star which for all people in the know is a very important part of the Australian flag. Why? Because this six pointed star epitomizes the six founding states in addition to Australian territories. This can be found under the Union Jack. Furthermore, the Southern Cross in the Australian flag has four seven pointed stars and one with five.
Difference between Australia and New Zealand Flag
While the Australian flag has the Commonwealth Star, the New Zealand flag does not because it is a symbol of Australia.
The Australian’s flag’s Southern Cross has four seven pointed stars and one with five; the New Zealand flag has only four five pointed stars.
The Australian flag has the Southern Cross with white; the New Zealand flag has its’ Southern Cross colored with red and white borders.
So as similar as these two countries’ flags may look like, there are still differences. And they are very subtle at that. So if you are not very detail-oriented, you can miss it.
