Information about these people based on Wikipedia:
The Adnyamathanha are
an Indigenous Australian people from the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. On
the 30 March 2009, the Adnyamathanha people received a consent determination, in
the Federal Court of Australia, for recognition of their Native Title rights
over a very large area (around 41,000 square km) of land running East from the
edge of Lake Torrens, through the Northern Flinders Ranges approaching the South
Australian border with New South Wales.
The Adnyamathanha are made up of the Kuyani, Wailpi, Yadliaura, Pilatapa and
Pangkala, which are the traditional groups of the Northern Flinders Ranges and
(with the Kokatha) the areas around Lake Torrens. The name Adnyamathanha means
"rock people" and is a term referring to the Lakes Culture societies living in
that area. They share a common identity, which they get from their descendants,
this common bond is their language and culture which is known as Yura Muda. The
origins of the Adnyamathanha are told through creation stories, passed down from
generation to generation.
This group has an own flag based on this
article:

Their flag is divided diagonally, upper left part is blue with white
stars (15 stars formed a constellation.) Lower part is brown with a white sun
symbol placed in lower fly of the flag.

The flag looks 1:2, which looks very long on a flag with a diagonally
division. More details [were] found at Facebook (no longer available) in which
it is clear that the division is not a straight line, but irregularly wavy.
The blue represents the Ngiiarri (sky), the Brown the Yarta (land). The
stars are two separate constellations - the saucepan (Orion), representing
Mirarrityi (Men’s Muda) and the 7 sisters (Pleiades) representing Artinyi
(Women’s Muda). The sun design is "taken from a community symbol that appears on
several painting sites in Adnyamathanha Yarta. This represents all Yura (Adnyamathanha
people)".
The facebook photo caption says:
"This flag has been
developed over many years, starting at Nepabunna School with the students there,
then our Elder Gordon Coulthard adapted it and we have been using his flag at
official functions for a while, but then the ATLA [Traditional Lands
Association] Board endorsed this final flag. They felt it truly represents all
Adnyamathanha people and culture. We were proud to fly the flag for the very
first time at Nepabunna on the 26th of November 2011."

On February 15, 2013 a flag representing the Adnyamathanha people was raised
at Wilpena Pound Report located in the Flinders Ranges South Australia (429 km
north of Adelaide).

The flag was first flown in November 2011.
