Flag etiquette and Respect on Australia Day

Flags at Hobsons Bay Yacht Club

Flags are the traditional way of ship comminication

The flags tell a message of respect.

The club burgee at top of the mast says the ship is from Hobsons Bay Yacht Club

The Australian flag from the back stay identifies an Australian ship

The courtesy flag is a sign of respect to the country you are in.

The flying of the aboriginal flag from the cross trees says we are in aboriginal country.

Three flags can give a simple but true message.

  2. RhapsodyBoheme – Welcome to my little corner, the place where the thoughts of my deep thinking take flight and where I ponder the status quo and if "this" is really "it." You might have been there too, asking yourself if this is all there is to your life. I invite to explore the ups and downs I have encountered so far, how I worked through them, overcame, and even came to embrace them as lessons that I needed to learn. And yes, I mean even the tough ones. This blog started as an outlet for what I call my “Warriors Journey". It became a way to document and share my challenges and successes, plus allowed me to empty my mind when I felt others found it hard to relate. When I basically felt alone, trapped with an analytical mind that examined everything at a deeper level. Please check out my 'About me" page for a more in depth look and thank you for stopping by. Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋
