The flag is basically complete, aside from art and the rainbow checkerboard. Thank you to everyone who helped!
Special thanks to @[email protected], @[email protected] , and @[email protected] who did a very large amount of the flag.

I have been sick all weekend, so haven’t been a part of the main event. I just looked at what it’d take to put a simple Bluey on the right of the flag (I killed one of the amongus thingys).
Err, no. I don’t have that much time/energy. 😂
Can you send me the exported image from that program with a transparent background?
I cannot. I got this from some crochet site I came across after googling something like “bluey pixel art”. I can probably find the url if you like.
Thanks! Before next canvas I will copy the stuff from that site :)
Took a lot of patience, team work, and negotiation. Biggest thanks goes to you eatham for driving the whole thing!
It’s been fun. Shout out to my 10 year old daughter who spent most of Sunday with me filling in the flag. :-)
PS: she said we should do a proper Bluey and Bingo one next year with the flag too.
Next canvas we will. After this canvas I will make a post asking for suggestions on what other things to add to the flag, and for people to draw said other things :)
Would be nice to get some Australian fedi instances (e.g. aussie.zone ) written in either the red or blue sections (I think red might be better?) using pixels that are one shade lighter or darker.
Will do next year. If you want to do it now, feel free. The Brits might stop you tho
There wasn’t a lot of time this year since I came into it so late 😅
Too many people attacking now. I can’t keep them off. :-(
It always happens. People think it’s funny to destroy/troll stuff someone has painstakingly created. I remember the poor Canadians couldn’t make their maple leaf a few years ago on Place, because people kept vandalising it.
The same trolls that are attacking the flag have messed with the Union Jack itself. I haven’t bothered with the template, so I can’t be sure how to repair it. Maybe the Brits will wake up and fix it, soon.
Edit: Or not. The Canvas froze 4 minutes ago (12pm WST/2pm EST). We almost got it cleaned up.
Yeah thanks mate. I saw you helping out. It was hectic! I wasn’t using the template either - just eyeballing stuff and trying to see what they changed to change it back. I knew it was freezing at 2pm… so knew we just had to survive. I think it ended pretty well for us considering everything they threw at us in the last 3 hours.
Feels like it was the emu wars all over again!
I just saw the “finished” canvas and to be honest, it’s not that bad; it’s mostly the shading they screwed up but from afar, it looks ok.
I wish there was a real report system for these purposes; I’ve reported 3 or so users who were vandalising to grant over in the canvas community but haven’t heard back from them.
The flag looked so perfect when I went to bed… Oh well
What is the thing covering the top star meant to be?
Upside down my little pony
Oh lol. Is it licking something?
You’ll have to go ask for details in the pony/brony communities! 😆
It is licking a stu (the little red guy which is all over the canvas)
People now attacking the flag in the last few hours before the end. Please come help clean up if anyone’s available.
It’s not over yet, though, and some users (at least two) have been constantly trying to vandalise the flag for a bit now…
Apart from that; it’s been a lot of fun. I hope I didn’t cross anyone with my pixel placement, I tried joining the Matrix room but it didn’t really work
Well done guys it looks great! Especially @[email protected] for coordinating this whole thing
