Courtesy: State Library of Victoria. Drawn from the collection of the National Museum of Australia, the Symbols of Australia exhibition explored some of the symbols Australians have chosen to represent themselves and their nation. Australia — both ancient continent and recent nation — is represented by many symbols. National symbols are often used to represent a distinctive national identity. Some symbols endure, others fade away and new symbols develop as attitudes and values change. The Australian flag is legislated as an official symbol.

Australia Day. Uluru Uproar: 21/07/2009, Behind the News. It's the rock in the middle of the desert that attracts 350,000 people each year, but soon those visiting Uluru, in the centre of Australia, might not get to see as much of it as they'd like.
A plan has recommended closing the rock to all climbers. That's got a lot of people fired up... so let's take a look at those on each side of this ascending argument. It's known as the heart of Australia - a 348m high sandstone outcrop in the middle of the desert, that seems to change colour as the outback sun moves across its ochre face. With a stunning landscape like this, it's no wonder hundreds of thousands of visitors trek out to the red centre, near the exact centre of Australia, to take a look. But many don't just enjoy the view from the bottom. The question of whether to climb or not to climb Uluru has left this rock in a pretty hard place.

EMMA DAVIS, REPORTING: We fly it, parade it, wave it and wear it, both here and overseas. Well back in 1901 when Australia became a federation, Prime Minister Sir Edmund Barton announced a competition to design a brand new flag for this brand new nation! But what does the design of our flag represent? But now the flag is 113 years old, some people are wondering if it's time for a revamp! The Union Jack is a combination of the flag of England, Saint Patrick's Saltire from Northern Ireland and the flag of Scotland.
Another argument for a redesign is that a lot of people think the current flag doesn't represent Indigenous Australians. Others say we shouldn't be changing it at all.
