I'd like an Australian or Antipodean one, although I'd prefer to see the Eureka flag rather than the standard aussie flag.

*goes off to find example of flag*

*returns*

ok, here's a few examples and a description.
The Eureka flag was designed by a Canadian, Lieutenant Ross. It was hand sewn by Anastasia Withers, Anne Duke and Elizabeth Hayes just before the 'monster meeting' at Bakery Hill in Ballarat on Wednesday the 29th November 1854. The flag was 12 ft by 8 ft and had five stars on a cross, sewn on a blue background. The stars have eight points because the women who sewed it were pressed for time and folded the material in four when they cut out the stars.

An eighty foot flagpole was erected for the meeting at Bakery Hill and the flag was first raised just before the meeting at around 2pm on Wednesday the 29th November. Raffello Carboni mounted the stump beneath the Southern Cross and called upon all "irrespective of nationality, religion and colour" to salute the Southern Cross "as the refuge of all the oppressed from all countries on earth".

(last one is what's left of the original flag)

**************

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Yay!! May I please 2nd Nico's request? I think the Eureka flag is perfect for us Aussie Browncoats!! Well done on the examples and history Nico!! You're my hero!!

... and the men of the Eureka Stockade which was on Bakery Hill were protesting against the unfair and injust laws which forced them to pay through the nose for gold mining licenses which often cost them more than they were making with their gold findings... they "stood up to the man & they gave him what for"... Hey - that would make a good song...?

Thanks for the offer too CaptainJosh06!! You are awesome!! ... I even did a Snoopy dance for you!!

I really like it! I think Nico will be asleep though, and he should be consulted! I love the idea of being the Eureka Browncoats... I think Joss would approve! If I had photobucket open I would give you a dancing cow - but all I have is a kiss! of thanks!

The Eureka Browncoats - it has a ring to it!!

Thank you CaptainJosh06! You are way talented and very shiny!! - love, Magda x x x

P.S. I was just pondering and I wondered if it is possible to mention 'Australia' or 'Down Under' in some way - even in a sub-line or shadow - it needn't be too obvious... just to give those folk that don't know the connection an idea of where we're from?

Thank you again my dear Josh! (My gorgeous nephew is called Josh... great name!) - love, Magda x x x

Those are pretty shiny Captain Josh.

How about one with the Virginia State flag:

I would prefer a pic of the flag rippling as if flying like in your above examble of the Union Jack.

If you're going to do them for religions as well, can we please have a Wiccan one.

Thanks.

I may be a group of one, here, but an "Expat Browncoat" banner - just like the UK one, but with the US flag on the other side - would be very shiny :)
