Isn't that the rebel flag? The red background, with blue diagonal cross, with white stars in it?

AussieMini's having a go at me, not you. Shame on me for not remembering what the Eureka flag looks like - Goodness, I must see one at least twice a day...

I dunno typical england are likely to do the hardwork in the warm-up games then go out to western samoa in the quarterfinals (no disrespect to western samoa intended!)

question is, do I need to peel off the other parts of the flag to turn it into a St Georges Flag

so what or who does the Eureka flag represent?

I must say... even though I went to school in Oz, we never learned about the Eureka stockade or any of that stuff. Never really learned anything in the short time I was forced to do history at school...

cjay · Jun 27th, 2003, 07:38 AM

Maybe they don't want kids to rebel against authority these days

Does not sound like there are any MINI's with an Australian flag on the roof...

great page - thanks Cjay.

from that page "Today, the Eureka flag is often used as a symbol of rebellion against authority by people at the extreme left and the extreme right of the political spectrum in Australia"

and there was me thinking that most mini drivers were middle-class conservatives when it turns out we really are bunch of hooligans who modify our cars, who have a problem with authority and when we start robbing banks, we'll start writing the first chapter of "The Australian Job".
