Symbolism: The flag features a blue field with the Southern Cross constellation represented by four seven-pointed stars and one smaller five-pointed star, symbolizing the island's location in the Southern Hemisphere and its connection to Australia. The golden bosun bird in flight represents the island's unique wildlife and natural heritage. The green and gold colors reflect Australia's national colors.

- Hanging protocol: The flag of Christmas Island (country code 'cx') is typically hung with the Union Jack in the upper hoist-side corner and the green and blue fields oriented horizontally, with the green on the hoist side and blue on the fly side.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is confusing the flag with other Australian external territories' flags, or misplacing the Southern Cross stars or the golden bosun bird emblem.
