Subscribe Featured Collection Australian Native T-Shirts Retro Logo Adults T-Shirt (Various Colours) from $15.95 Important Update - Australian DeliveriesDue to Australia Post and Social Distancing Requirements at sorting centres and post offices etc, there are delays with all forms of shipping methods, regular AND express post. There is no longer any guarantee of next-day delivery with express post and regular post can take 2-3x longer than normal to arrive. It is obviously due to the pandemic and is out of our control. As a business, we are still doing our best to process and ship as quickly as possible so it gets into the Auspost system without initial delays.Important Update - International DeliveriesDue to a lack of planes in the air, all export shipments have delays. Some postage methods have been closed off entirely from use, like regular airmail to many locations, as a result, we are only sending via international courier for now. This is quite a costly method, but it is all we can offer to be sure Australia Post will still process the package. An update regarding the current situation with the Corona Virus in regards to our business operation. We are an Australian family based business with a small warehouse in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, run entirely by family members. Our warehouse is not a retail store, so we generally don't have/allow walk-in customers and certainly will not be having them during this pandemic. As such, we can continue to ship out orders worldwide as long as postal services are running.In the warehouse we are:Regularly hand washing.Disinfecting all surfaces daily.Not allowing outside visitors.In general, family members are staying home as much as possible to avoid exposure to the virus.Regarding the supply chain:So far, no suppliers are reporting lengthy delays in product supplies and our main suppliers are operating much as we are.We don't import direct from China or other countries where freight is blocked/delayed.Our special order range - The Mountain Tie Dye T-Shirts - comes from the USA. During this time we are only receiving shipments once a week from them, so the order processing time is 7 days on that product range.Change to Operating Hours: We are normally at the warehouse Monday-Friday and ship many orders out the same or next-day, however if need-be during this pandemic, we will reduce the days we ship out orders to Monday, Wednesday and Friday to further limit our exposure to the virus.Thank you for your continued support during this time, this business is our  livelihood, it keeps a roof over our heads and we are doing our very best to continue to serve you during this unique period in our shared living history. The Australian Aboriginal flag represents Indigenous Australians. It was originally designed in 1971 by Harold Thomas who is descended from the Luritja people of Central Australia and holds intellectual property rights to the flag's design. According to Mr Thomas, the black in the flag represents the Aboriginal people, the red the earth and their spiritual relationship to the land, and the golden yellow represents the sun, the giver of life. The Aboriginal flag was originally designed for the land rights movement and has since became a symbol of the Aboriginal people of Australia.It's important to note that authentic Aboriginal flag merchandise must be licensed by Harold Thomas (with royalties paid to Mr Thomas) and we are proud to say all Aboriginal flag t-shirts, other clothing and gifts in our store are 100% authentic licensed products. Many online stores located outside of Australia are offering bootleg Aboriginal Flag products and these should be avoided by consumers.We here at Australian Native T-Shirts have been instrumental in bringing new Aboriginal flag t-shirt designs to market, please view our entire range here.

Red poppies were among the first plants to spring up in the devastated battle fields of Northern France and Belgium, the sight of poppies on the battlefield at Ypres in 1915 moved Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae to write the poem "In Flanders fields" - recited below.In Flanders fieldsIn Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place: and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.John McCrae (1872–1918)The Red Poppy has become a symbol of Remembrance, worn on Armistice Day and also ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. Red Poppies also adorn the Roll of Honour at The War Memorial in Canberra.
