Flag of New Zealand
The New Zealand flag, shown below, was introduced in 1869 and adopted as the national flag in 1902. It is the British blue ensign, the Union Jack, in the top left hand corner, and four red stars with white borders to the right.
The Union Jack symbolises New Zealand's Commonwealth heritage. The stars represent the Southern Cross, they have five points and are all of the same size.
The flag is similar to the Australian flag, except the Australian flag has six solid white seven-pointed stars.
