The flag of Australia features a Union Jack in
the upper left quadrant of the deep blue ground.
The remainder of the flag body depicts the seven-pointed
star of federation in the lower left quadrant, and
the Southern Cross constellation fills the blue
field in the right portion of the flag. The Southern
Cross is significant because it can be seen from
all states in the federation.
Remembrance
Day - November 11
Remembrance
Day in Australia is a solemn day of honor and remembrance
of soldiers killed in all wars. Observances are similar
to Memorial Day and
Veterans Da in the USA,
and to Remembrance Day national solemn holidays in
Canada and Europe.
 Red
poppies are a significant symbol to honor war dead
on Remembrance
Day in Australia, just as they are in the USA,
Canada and Europe; some people also wear a sprig of
rosemary in remembrance of those who died.
In Australia, a minute's silence is one of the most
important parts of Remembrance Day commemoration ceremonies.
Australians maintain one minute's silence at 11 a.m.
on 11 November to remember when the guns went silent
in 1918 at the end of WWI, and to honor the men and
women who have died in all wars and conflicts.
