    The flag is green, with a palm tree on a gold disc in the canton, a gold crescent in the centre of the flag and a gold southern cross in the fly, as in the Australian flag. [Ed.] The drawing is based on a table flag I have received from Ron Strachan. I do not have much information about it. Only that the flag was confirmed to me by a tourist agency located on the islands.
    Mello Luchtenberg , 23 March 2003 According to Darwin flag manufacturer, Ronald Strachan , this flag was designed locally via the Office of the Island's Administrator in early 2003. As far as Ron is aware this flag has not yet been officially adopted. He is still trying to obtain further details about the flag, which he was contracted to make for the Islanders.
