Flag of Norfolk Island

Flag of Norfolk Island

The flag of Norfolk Island was adopted on January 17, 1980. It depicts the Norfolk Island Pine ("Araucaria heterophylla").

The flag's geometry is a Triband. It is similar to the flag of Canada, with its use of only two colours and the use of a prominent local floral symbol in the middle. It also has 1:2 size ratio. Though the central stripe is not a Canadian pale in the stricter sense of the term, in that it does not cover half of the flag's length, it is sometimes considered so in a looser sense, as it is wider than the two outer stripes (they have the ratio of 7:9:7).
