* The Commonwealth Star is present on the Australian flag where the NZ flag has a bank field. It's the large, white, seven-pointed star beneath the Union Jack, with the seven points standing for the six states plus the territories. [[hottip:**Interestingly, it used to have six points before Australia acquired the Territory of Papua (now southern Papua New Guinea) in 1906.]]

* A couple of quick ways of telling the Australian and New Zealand flags apart since they are very similar
** The Federation Star is the fastest. A large, white, seven pointed star beneath the Union Jack on the Australian flag where the NZ flag has a blank field.
** The Design of the Southern Cross varies in a couple of ways
*** 1: The Australian Flag has five stars, the New Zealand Flag only has four (omitting Epsilon Crucis in the middle)
*** 2: The stars are white on the Australian Flag and red with a white outline on the NZ flag
*** 3: The NZ flag has all the stars with five points, the Australian flag varies the number of points depending on the apparent magnitude of the stars that make up the constellation.

Since every other country seems to be getting one of these, this Aussie troper reckons it's about time we did too.

THIS Aussie troper just wants to make sure that you're not all idiots. WE HAVE CITIES. Very few Australians live in the outback. Yes, I know that you already know that, I'm just checking.
