The Torres Strait Islander flag was designed by the late Bernard Namok of Thursday Island. The flag symbolizes the unity and identity of all Torres Strait Islanders. The flag is emblazoned with a white Dhari (headdress) which is a symbol of Torres Strait Islanders. The white five pointed stars beneath it symbolize peace, the five major island groups and the navigational importance of stars to the seafaring people of the Torres Strait. Great for displaying indoors or outdoors although we recommend our top quality nylon outdoor display flags if you are going to display your flag outdoors for prolonged periods of time in all weather.
