Brief Description
The blue and green triangles represent the sea surrounding the island and the vegetation covering the island respectively. In the blue triangle is the Southern Cross in the same form as it appears on the Australian flag, representing the island's links with Australia.
In the green triangle is a representation of the Golden Bosun Bird, which is unique to Christmas Island and has long been one of the island's most popular symbols.
In the centre of the flag is a gold disc, which has come to represent the island's phosphate mining history although it was originally included only for aesthetic reasons to provide a background for the green map of Christmas Island.
