Where the stars are, there was the Union Jack.
These were probably the three most used flags in colonial America. 1: The "Union Jack". It was identical to the UK's current flag, but the X behind the cross in the union Jack had no red stripes. 2: The Red Ensign. It had the Union Jack in the canton (like the American flag's white stars) and the rest was red. 3: The Continental Colors. It was identical to the American flag, but where the stars are today there was a Union Jack.
The Australian flag is not multicultural. It represents Australia's British heritage in the use of the Union Jack, and it features the Southern Criss and the Federation Star.
