I have been convinced for more than 2 decades that the correct designation for a "real" Australian flag is - "rising sun over red earth/blood of the Anzac's, under Southern Cross". Stephen Berry's design captures this designation perfectly. It is a simple, aesthetically pleasing design, with a clever rationale. Above all it is unequivocally and intrinsically Australian, something that the British naval ensign "defaced by stars", can never be.
