The Ensign must comprise upon a field of light blue, a dark-blue latin cross, in breadth eight-sixtieths of the hoist of the ensign, bordered by a white band two-sixtieths of the hoist of the Ensign; in the first canton the Union Flag; and in the fourth canton the Southern Cross of four fivepointed stars coloured red.
The centres of the stars forming the long limb of the cross must be on a vertical line through the centre of the fourth canton and equidistant from its upper and lower edges, and the distance apart of the centres of the stars must be sixteen-sixtieths of the hoist of the Ensign.
The centres of the stars forming the short limb of the cross must be on a line intersecting the vertical limb at an angle of 82 degrees therewith and rising from near the lower inner corner of the canton towards the upper and outer corner, its point of intersection with the vertical line being distant from the centre of the uppermost star of the cross, five and onehalf sixtieths of the hoist of the Ensign. The distance of the centre of the star nearest the outer edge of the canton from the point of intersection must be equal to five-sixtieths of the hoist of the Ensign, and the distance of the centre of the star nearest the inner edge of the canton from the point of intersection must be equal to five and one-half sixtieths of the hoist of the Ensign.
The star nearest the outer edge of the canton must measure three and one-half sixtieths, the stars at the top and bottom of the cross and that nearest the inner edge of the canton must each measure four-sixtieths of the hoist of the Ensign across their respective points.
