Queensland - Australia

Queensland is the second largest state of Australia and the nation of Libya is slightly bigger, the size of the state is 1,730,620 km² (668,196 sq mi). Also known as the "Sunshine State" has an population of around 5 million. Initially the capital of Queensland Brisbane started as an penal colony, only the convicts came from New South Wales the ones that get in trouble again. From an penal colony to another penal colony, but eventually the area became an normal colony. In 1859 Queensland was created after separated from New South Wales and it's named after the British Queen Victoria. Queensland is diverse with in the north we find the triangle shape peninsula Cape York which points to Papua New Guinea, that area is tropical. The east borders the ocean and the Great Barrier Reef is located off-shore. The west has mountains and getting arid and the south has the most population. Don't forget all those beaches which attracts sunbathers, ofcourse more sights are to discover for the more active traveler. So lets take an look at the flag.

All Australian State flags has an common thing, they all are Blue Ensigns with an badge or emblem. The origin of the blue ensign can be found in the British Royal Navy, used by ships which commanded by an Royal navy officer or ships in public service. And where those ships operating at possible British overseas possessions.  So continue with the badge which contains an light blue Maltese cross with an crown. That crown was used at the coronation of Elisabeth II in 1952, before this crown they used the head of Queen Victoria but that design was costly and the crowns are changed two times over the years. The Maltese Cross has no meaning but it's changed in time over the years from an darkest blue to this light blue one. Australian state flags maybe needs some redesign.
