In this short clip Weekend Sunrise presenter Jessica Rowe does a round-up of events happening around Australia in connection with Australia Day.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the first raising of the Aboriginal flag in July 1971, proud Kamilaroi yinarr (woman) Cheree Toka writes about what the Aboriginal flag means to her.

This news story from Nine News in 1997 outlines the copyright case that recognised artist Harold Thomas as the designer, and therefore the copyright owner, of the Australian Aboriginal flag.

This is a rich and powerful story of a man whose design created meaning for a people once invisible to mainland Australia, the people of the Torres Strait.
