Here I am waving this flag at the Sydney Cricket Ground, just after Shane Warne belted 4 runs off Graham Gooch from the second last ball of the match to ensure a draw and Australia retaining the Ashes (3rd Test, Australia v England, 5 January 1995). Video courtesy Channel 9.

		This design appeared in the UpFront section of the Good Weekend magazine (a colour supplement to Saturday editions of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age) on 8 April 1995. It even solicted some fan mail... Click on the top image to see a larger version. No, I don't have the traffic light list any more...

This design also appears in the book The Australian Flag: Colonial Relic or Contemporary Icon? by Carol Foley, published in 1996 by Federation Press (see colour plate 61 and accompanying text pp 188-189). Click on the image to see a larger version.

And finally this flag design appears at the Ausflag web site as the "Reconciliation Flag".
