The yellow at the centre of the flag is meant to be the sun. The red represents the earth and the black stands for the Aboriginal people. The original people! I've only seen one Aborigine so far, in Sydney and he was busking for tourists. I suppose this is what happens to mythical peoples, indigenous races who are wiped out. Well maybe that's what happened in the past.
I found this poem while browsing google. I think "the Rum Corps" were the police/law of early Sydney where a Captain Phillip subdued the Aborigines.
The listed servitude of roots
by Curly, QLD
Sonny it's wrong, to steal that car,
but it's all right to steal a whole country to live on.
Sonny it's wrong to steal that car, but it's all right to steal all the oil to fire it.
Sonny it's wrong to steal that car,
and it's right for the Rum Corps to pursue you to death.
