The Torres Strait Islander flag was designed by the late Bernard Namok from Thursday Island. It was the winning entry in a design competition, held as part of a Cultural Revival Workshop, organised by The Islands Coordinating Council in January 1992. The flag was officially presented to the people of the Torres Strait at the sixth Torres Strait Cultural Festival on 29 May 1992. (text courtesy of AIATSIS)
Today The University of Queensland held a Flag Raising Ceremony to recognise the Torres Strait Islander flag and its people.
