Question

I mean, the Australian Flag is Blue/White/Red so I don't know where does the green/yellow comes from :S

Australia's national colours are green and gold and they come from the national floral emblem, the golden wattle.  I get annoyed when I see them wearing blue for the opening ceremony and not wearing the nations colours.

Answer 4

Green and gold are the national colors of Australia, also the traditional team colors of Australian national sporting teams.
