To "commemorate" my recently being granted dual US/Australian citizenship I have made a set of textures for the Daz/Zygote flag prop for the flags of Australai and its six states and two territories. It will be available in freestuff as soon as it is approved.  Enjoy

Congrats!!!!!  That's great!

Thanks so much!  Most of the women in my graphic group hail from Australia so they will love those!   :)

Congrats on joining us Down Under'ers :) And thanks for the Flags. It's Autralia Day on jan 26th, and we can never have too many flags :)

They will certainly come in handy.......

Perhaps it would be a nice gesture to include a texture for the Aboriginal Flag - as that seems to be used in conjunction with the National and State flags more and more these days....

I know at my son's school they fly both as a mark of respect to the original land owners.....

wheat, what was yer source for those textures? the reason I ask: is there a copyright-free source for australian and other flag textures (e.g. u.k., u.s., france, germany, mexico et al.) or did ya create these "de novo"?

How could anybody claim copyright on the British flag (around since 1707), or the French Tricouleur, which originated around the time of the Revolution (1789 edition - I know les grenouilles are rather partial to revolutions).   I assume that the Mexican flag dates back to independence, too, doesn't it?

Very nice idea, making these Australian flags.   Which one is Victoria's, by the way?   In the image at the top, NSW seems to get two.

I like the story of the Australian at a sporting event (possibly the Sydney Olympics).   A British sports fan is waving a Union Flag in front of him, so the Aussie taps him on the shoulder and says, "What's the matter, mate?   Couldn't you afford a whole one?"

Congrats on becomming a citizen in one of if not the best country in the world, Wife is a good Aussie girl and though she married a pomm. 
Well look at the cricket and the rugby some of the aussie's got to feel sorry for the pomms, and we worked this out well our daughter is born on the 26 Jan which made her Pops (wifes Dad) living in taz very hppy  .  So a Very big Congrats

Quote -    Which one is Victoria's, by the way?   In the image at the top, NSW seems to get two.

 

The second one in NSW is the ACT flag (Australian Capital Territory). Victoria's is the one with the Southern Cross and a crown.

I'll be adding a Koori (Aborigine) flag soon.

Miss Nancy, state and national flags are not subject to copyright laws, since no one using them could possibly claim that they were original artwork in and of themselves.  And, anyone is entitled to reproduce the image, the more accurately the better.

Images of such maps sold by companies are generally treated more like stock image collections, where it is the collection that is copyrighted to prevent further distribution of the work.  So, say you find a great image of the US Flag, you can't just add that image to your own collection and distrubute it for cash.  However, you can give it away, and other people can use it for commercial and/or non-commercial artwork.

PS:  This is not to say that sites won't have copyright disclaimers, they more or less have to in order to protect their butts, but it really is a matter of, "who the heck is gonig to know one way or the other??"  So, it's sort of impossible to enforce.

Having said that, there are several good sources for flags generally, including:

And specifically, the flags of Australia at:
