The flag of Western Australia is based on the defaced British Blue Ensign and features a state badge on the right. The badge consists of a gold disc with a black swan on it. The black swan is the official bird emblem of Western Australia, and Australian swans are the only non-white swans in the world. The height-to-width ratio of the flag is 1:2, and the flag was adopted in 1953. Western Australia is a state that covers one-third of Australia. Its capital is Perth; its population is about 2.667 million (2020); and its area is 2,526,786 km².
