The Flag of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is a rectangular banner that symbolizes the unique identity of this autonomous territory within Australia. Adopted on March 7, 1996, the flag features three equal horizontal bands in green, yellow, and blue. The upper and lower bands are green, representing the Australian rural landscape, while the central band is a bright gold-yellow symbolizing Canberra's sunshine. The blue band at the hoist bears a seven-pointed star, symbolizing the seven district areas of the ACT. The flag design emphasizes the unity of the territory and its relationship with Australia as a self-governing internal region.
