Original design, handpainted Australian pine wood Christmas Tree decoration, featuring an adorable Koala waving the Australian Flag. 'Koala' is an aboriginal word meaning 'never drinks', as it gets its water mostly from eucalypt leaves. The Australian flag features the Union Jack in the first quarter, denoting Australia's historical links with Great Britain, the costellation of the Southern Cross in the second and fourth quarters, a significant navigational feature of the southern hemisphere and geographical placement of Australia, and the Star of Federation in the third quarter, with 7 points to denote the States and Territories of Australia.
