Oceanian flags quiz

Tips for recognizing Oceania flags

Look for the Union Jack first: it sits in the corner of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tuvalu. Australia's stars are white and include a large Commonwealth Star, while New Zealand has four red stars. Fiji is light blue, and Tuvalu has nine yellow stars.

Without a Union Jack, check the shapes. Papua New Guinea is split diagonally with a bird of paradise, Vanuatu has a sideways Y, Nauru a white star under a gold stripe, and Palau a yellow disc on light blue. Tonga has a red cross on a white canton. Territories like Guam and American Samoa carry local seals. More in the Oceania flags guide.
