Our Flag, Our Story: The Torres Strait Islander Flag

Bernard Namok Jnr was just a little boy when his dad designed the Torres Strait Islander Flag, a symbol of unity, shared identity and pride for all Torres Strait Islanders. This is the story of a flag and what it represents.

Alongside Tori-Jay Mordey’s stunning digital illustrations reflecting the vibrant colours of the Torres Strait, Bernard Namok Jnr and Thomas Mayo present an engaging, personal story that invites young readers to learn about the Torres Strait Islander peoples, place and culture. Our Flag, Our Story shares an essential piece of Australian and Torres Strait Islander history, accessible for all ages.
