Schedule 2Description of Australian Aboriginal Flag

The Australian Aboriginal Flag is divided horizontally into halves, the upper half being black (symbolising the Aboriginal peoples) and the lower half being red (symbolising both the Australian soil and ochre, a substance used by Aboriginal peoples at their ceremonies). A yellow disk (symbolising the sun) is superimposed centrally on the black and red halves of the flag.
