    Lands of the Rising Sun 23rd International Congress of Vexillology Yokohama, Japan – 12–17 July 2009 Ralph G.C. Bartlett – President, Flags Australia Japan, also known as the Land of the Rising Sun, uses this symbol to great effect on both the national flag and naval ensign. However, it is not the only land to use the rising Sun as a significant symbol for either its flag or other insignia. The Sun is used on at least 12 current national flags, several territorial flags, national arms, and former national or colonial flags. Examples of these are1: Fig. 1 Antigua Fig. 2 Bahamas – Arms Fig. 3 British Columbia Fig. 4 Greenland Fig. 5 Argentina Fig. 6 Argentine Arms Fig. 7 Uruguay Fig. 8 Gilbert & Ellice Islands Fig. 9 Arms Fig. 10 Arms Fig. 11 Kiribati Fig. 12 China – Taiwan Fig. 13 French Polynesia Fig. 14 Polynesian Disc Fig. 15 Philippines Fig. 16 Labuan Federal Territory Fig. 17 Labuan Badge Fig. 18 Malaysia Fig. 19 Tibet Fig. 20 Nepal Fig. 21 Afghanistan Fig. 22 Kazakhstan Fig. 23 Uzbekistan Arms Fig. 24 Arms Fig. 25 Kyrgyzstan Fig. 26 Latvian Arms Fig. 27 Macedonia (1992-95) Fig. 28 Macedonia (since 1995) Fig. 29 Malawi Fig. 30 Namibia Fig. 31 Niger Fig. 32 Rwanda The meaning given to the Sun symbols does vary, but a general theme is: “Dawning of a new era and/or day”, religious status of the Sun, a symbol of life, enlightenment, or unity, and the geographic relationship of the Sun for a particular part of the world. A significant number of these flags and arms are for countries and territories in eastern Asia and the Pacific region.

  • ANZAC Symbols and Traditions
    ANZAC Symbols and Traditions Slouch hat By 1890, State military commandants had agreed that all Australian forces, except the artillery corps, should wear a looped-up hat of uniform pattern that was turned up on the right side in Victoria and Tasmania, and on the left side in all other States to allow for different drill movements Rising Sun Badge There are seven patterns of the Rising Sun. The Rising Sun has evolved over time and today Australian Army soldiers wear the seventh pattern Rising Sun. The ANZAC’s wore the 4th pattern that included Australian Commonwealth Military Forces on the bottom bars of the badge Rosemary Since ancient times this aromatic herb has been believed to have properties to improve the memory. Perhaps because of this, rosemary became an emblem of both fidelity and remembrance in literature and folklore. Traditionally, sprigs of rosemary are worn on Anzac Day and sometimes on Remembrance Day, and are usually handed out by Legacy and the RSL. Rosemary has particular significance for Australians, as it is found growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula. Light Horse Emu Plumes When the Light Horse went to Egypt, Queenslanders, Tasmanians and South Australians wore splendid emu plumes in their hats - actually, small squares of emu hide with the long, brown- tipped white feathers still attached. The plume had originally been a battle honour of the Queensland Mounted Infantry for their work in the shearers’ strike of 1891. Now it was adopted by almost all the Light Horse Regiments. Even when a Regiment did not wear the plume on parade or in battle, the men kept one in their kit and tucked it in the hatband when they went on leave.

  • Golden Ochre, Blue Down Under
    Golden ochre, blue down under Antony Burton Abstract In a land of ancestral ochres, of endless horizons beyond the blue, the persistence of blue and gold in Australian flags and symbols since European settlement is explored and explained. Con- clusions are drawn as to their enduring significance, and implications sketched that could influ- ence flag innovations in the future. The essential criteria are respect for a sense of national be- longing and a place in the sun, in a design striking enough to claim distinctiveness in a field al- ready favoured internationally. Archive and other sources offer clues. Lesser known aspects of Australian vexillo-hagiography are brought to light, suggesting that the livery of green and yel- low, suited perhaps to flags of equatorial zones, should be returned to Brazil. Preamble Though a land of golden ochres, Australia’s flag is mostly blue. The Flags Act 1953 defines it in part as “a blue flag”.1 Why blue? For many, Australia still lies mentally as well as literally at the other end of the world. It is out there beyond the blue. It is still hazardous to get there, especially by boat, as even Norwegian captains have found.2 Australia is an island — a very large one. It is set not simply in sea but by whole oceans on three sides. A complex nation of blending cultures, Australia has developed its notion of nation from a British colonial toehold on the Pacific. Among several discernible flag families, and as shown by the 15 in Figure 1, blue seems to be the colour of the Pacific.

  • School Education: Civics and Citizenship Education for the Future
    School Education: Civics and Citizenship Education for the Future National Civics and Citizenship Education Forum May 2007 REPORT Page 1 The National Civics and Citizenship Forum, entitled School Education: Civics and Citizenship Education for the Future, was held at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra on Monday and Tuesday, 28 and 29 May, 2007. The forum was organised by the Australian Curriculum Studies Association (ACSA) on behalf of the Australian Depa rtment of Education, Science and Training (DEST). This report was prepared by Vic Zbar, from Zbar Consulting for the Forum organisers. The views expressed at the 2007 National Civics and Citizenship Education Forum do not necessarily represent the views of the Australian Government Department of Science, Education and Training or the Australian Curriculum Studies Association. Page 2 Background to the Forum The 2007 National Civics & Citizenship Forum built on similar forums in earlier years and specifically sought to maintain and raise the national profile of civics and citizenship education (CCE) in schools by: · addressing the deficiencies identified in the 2004 national sample assessment report; · highlighting and promoting the website resources available at www.civicsandcitizenship.edu.au ; · exploring the relationship between the National Assessment to be held later in 2007 and the Statements of Learning; and · providing exemplars of good practices in civics and citizenship. Keynote addresses from Bishop Tom Frame, Associate Professor Bain Attwood, Dr Elizabeth Kwan, Mr Anthony Ryan, the Hon John von Doussa (President, Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission), along with workshops, panels and other stakeholder presentations provided the impetus for discussion at the forum about current and future directions in CCE in Australia.

    DESIGNS ON AN AUSTRALIAN FLAG . JV - A MELBOURNE WORKSHOP ^ ^ conducted by Tony Burton/notes by Ralph Kelly This workshop was designed to be an interactive response to the design issues highlighted by Tony Burton's ICV paper A Gestalt Approach to the Design of an AustraUan Flag, adapted for Crux Australis in September 1991. The Workshop, held at St Anne's College, Melbourne University on 28 September 1989, was attended by: (Spain - Sociedad de Vexilologia Espanola) Jose Brugues Grace Cooper (USA) William Crampton (UK Flag Institute) Peter^Ed wards (Canada - Heraldry Society) Ralph Kelly (FSA) Bruce Nicolls (UK - The Flag Man) Peter Orenski (USA) Alain Raulett (Breizhe/Brittany) Stewart Shannon (FSA) Dr Whitney Smith (Flag Research Center Massachussetts) Ron Strachan (Chairman FSA) John Vaughan (FSA/Australiana Flags) Tony Burton (FSA/Workshop leader) What follows is a digest of the ebb and flow, over some three hours, of ideas, discussion, argument and concession to respective opinions. As the preceding paper had proposed, the workshop was a design seminar only, predicated on the assumption (but not presumption) that there coufd be changes in the Australian flag at the turn of the century or shortly after. It was not the scope of the workshop to contend the opinions and political views that might lead to or impede such change. In that context it was agreed that it was important that any design change be for the better. Account should therefore be taken of the broadest spectrum of symbols that might achieve that end - drawing on appropriate traditions, myths, history, images (both objective and allusive representations of animals, plants and geography) and past flag designs.
