Description of the flag

I have been given the task of designing a flag for the first of the Australian (ab)Originee tribes to restate their sovereign status on this continent, the Githabul-Narakbul Tribe of northern NSW. I was given their banner which they love as it includes the silhouette of two of their most sacred icons, a couple of mountains prominent to their region, and includes the morning star, also very important culturally but it had a graduated red to yellow sky background which was outside the conventions associated with a flag, I believe solid colours seem the norm if not an actual requirement.

The star is a concern, they don't like the traditional star shape as used in the Australian and many other flags (seemingly made of overlapping solid triangles) and like what I have done here as it looks like the star is very far off/small as it is in real life.

The flyward mountain looks like Wollumbin/Mt Warning, and I take it the other would be Mt Lindesay.

The flag is based on a 'banner' sent to Bruce Blake. The 'banner' itself had a rising sun in graduated rather than solid colours, and is
described as a flag of sovereignty on page 15 of the December 2009 The Nimbin GoodTimes (PDF www.nimbingoodtimes.com/archive/pages09/0912/NGT-1209-14-19.pdf. This article reports the flag being unfurled at Broadwater in late November (2009).

The solid colour version is called the tribal flag on a (fairly inactive) Facebook page for the group http://www.facebook.com/githabul.tribe?sk=wall.
