This Unity flag was dramatically conceived at a rehearsal of Crawford & Surman's giant spectacular for Australia's 200th birthday
while the "Australian's" was being rehearsed. Birth took place with a hundred Unity flags in the 400,000 strong "Long walk" in
Melbourne on Sunday 3/11/2000 & used to make the finale's huge reconciliation tree.
It has also been used in the inaugural Australian Independence Day marches.
On one such march, a worker digging a hole in
Bourke St. looking up startled at first seeing it said "I wish my father had died under that flag!"
Barry Jones AO : "Many flags have been proposed, most of them unappealing or inappropriate. Bob Crawford's design with its
striking colour & flying kangaroo motif is one of the very few that deserves serious consideration."
Peter Russell-Clarke : "The symbolism is absolutely appealing & appropriate for our Nation's signature. In fact the concept is
what Australia has needed since we came of age at Gallipoli."
Professor of Australian History. Weston Bate AO : "A joyous creation. I admire the good sense you put into it... It is a liberation
& embracing, a stillness of remembrance & an energy of hope."
Natasha Stott Despoja : "Well thought out and crafted flag."
Caroline Briggs, Elder of the Boonerwrung tribe : "The Aboriginals will always tell stories of this flag."
Chris Franklin : "I wouldn't follow the Union Jack down a slippery hill, but I'd follow the Flag of Unity anywhere."
Hon. Gough Whitlam A.C., Q.C. : "I applaud your efforts to secure a distinctive Australian flag."
The Australians
Bob King Crawford / Doug Surman˜from their great musical 'The Eureka Stockade'.
The mighty mountains reach the skies,
The rivers fill the sea,
This is my country, where I want to be,
A cross of stars fill up the sky,
And in our flag they shine.
And I'm here to tell you world, That this land is mine.
So forward forever one nation, one land
Forward to our history and the world must understand.
Hymn of the Unity Flag
Australia is our nation, Our flag of light unfurled.
For our major is our destiny, And we will lead the world.
Eucalyptus scents the air, Endeavour fills our soul,
Greatness is our destiny and greatness is our goal,
In every field our people shine, challenges 'neath the sun,
And I'm here to tell you world, that we have just begun.
Repeat Chorus
