TORRES STRAIT ISLANDS

Flag:

1:2

Green represents the islands, blue the sea and black the local Melanesian people. A stylised dancer's head-dress known as a DARI and a five pointed star appear on the flag. The star alludes to the five main island zones and is sometimes interpreted as a symbol of the "Coming of the Light" - Christianity.
