Today, 29th May, we celebrate Torres Strait Islander Flag Day! First presented in 1992 and designed by the late Bernard Namok Senior, this flag is a powerful symbol of unity, identity, and deep connection.
Every piece tells a story:
💚 Green represents the land and mainlands.
💙 Blue represents the sacred, surrounding waters.
🖤 Black symbolises the Torres Strait Islander peoples.
🤍 The white Dhari (headdress) and star stand for cultural heritage, navigation, and the five major island groups.
We are so proud to celebrate the rich history, resilience, and incredible contributions of Torres Strait Islander peoples right here in our own community. Happy Flag Day! 🏝️✨
