as a monument, so the reader, myself included, has no idea what this monument consists of, other than a flagpole and flag. Is that all there is to it?

Would someone please remove the flag with the British blue values and use this flag that has the correct digital blue values as specified by the Australian Government. This is an image with the correct colours but it is not being used.

I agree with BilCat. That photo is quite useless. Even with some explanation here, I cannot see what it's allegedly showing me.
