I love the Fiji flag! It was first used in 1970..
It has a British Union jack with the Fiji's coat of arms:
This has three sugar canes,(for their main industry) a coconut palm,(they line their beaches) a dove with an olive branch (showing what peace-loving cannibals they were) and a bunch of bananas, (where the tarantulas hide).
The lion in the emblem is holding a peeled coconut and it is all divided into quarters by an English St. George's Cross.
The light blue colour represents the Pacific Ocean.
The golden lion holding a coconut & the St George's cross represent Britain and the good old colonial days!
