The flag of Christmas Island is divided in half diagonally from the upper left corner to the lower right, with the upper part being green and the lower part blue. The lower left corner of the flag depicts the Southern Cross constellation, similar to the flag of Australia and the flag of the Cocos Islands. The upper right corner depicts a white-tailed tropical bird, the golden booby, and in the center of the flag, against a yellow disk, is a green map of the island.
