The South Australian State Flag (1904)

The adoption of the piping shrike in January 1904 replaced the 1878 badge of South Australia which showed Britannia meeting an Aborigine. The piping shrike is perched on the branch of a eucalyptus tree, and the golden disc behind it represents the rising sun. South Australia was the last of the Australian states to adopt its badge.
