Happy Australia Day – Time for a New Flag

What makes Australia, Australia? What has the Union Jack on the Australian flag got to do with modern Australia?  Not a lot.  A heritage and a respect for building and defending the country, but it also hides indigenous guilt.  I think it’s time for Australia to stand up and be an independent country of the world, honour the past and build for the future.  And changing the flag is a statement of intent.  Changing the constitution and becoming a Republic is more complex and may take a little longer, changing the flag declares our intent for the future. 

Look at the new and old Canadian flag.  The Maple Leaf flag is beautiful, symbolic, strong, iconic. 

 

Before I lived in Australia I thought it was a progressive push ahead type country.  I got that impression from Australia’s sporting prowess.  But in fact it’s quite a conservative country set in a post colonial hangover.  The hangover cure is a new flag!

My favourite, is this flag. Past – the blue and Southern Cross.  The culture, Boomerang and Aboriginal Art, Green and Gold, and I like that the curve looks like a part of the West Australia coast with the coastal sand and land.  It’s not a simple flag that any kid could draw, nor does it have the simple lines and colours of traditional flags, but I like the look of it.

Here are a few more designs taken from FlagsAustralia;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And of course there are these two flags;

Well, I don’t know if this rule holds true across the board or not, but it certainly seems to be the case for Bowman & Landes Free Range Turkey Farm in New Carlisle, OH. Recently I drove through two hours of snowy Ohio scenery to meet up with the folks at Bowman & Landes, who gave me the grand tour of their turkey farm.

Sand is transported by wind and water and deposited in the form of beaches, dunes, sand spits, sand bars and related features. In environments such as gravel-bed rivers and glacial moraines it often occurs as one of the many grain sizes that are represented. Sand-bed rivers, such as the Platte River in Nebraska, USA, have sandy beds largely because there is no larger source material that they can transport. Dunes, on the other hand, are sandy because larger material is generally immobile in wind, and are a distinctive geographical feature of desert environments.

However and for whatever reason, I can't get the freehub body to sit all the way down the nose. It slides down about 3/4 way and stops, i wiggle it and nothing happens. I don't want to force it either and am left just really frustrated.

Where does one start with the Australian flag. We have to acknowledge our fist nations people and recognise that have a collective history before we can trully unite under one flag...
