Actually, it is a seven sided star. It is the Commonwealth Star, also known as the Federation Star. There is one point for each of Australia's six states, and the other point represents all Australia's mainland and external territories.
There is a group of five stars, and a single sixth star on the Australian flag.
The group of five stars form the constellation of the Southern Cross, a valuable navigation aid to early sailors travelling through the Southern Hemisphere.
The sixth star, situated below the Union Jack, is known as the Federation or Commonwealth star. It has seven points, with six of the points representing the six states of Australia, and the seventh representing Australia's two mainland territories as well as its numerous external (offshore) territories.
Each star on the Australian flag does not have six points. Below the Union Jack is the Commonwealth Star, or Federation Star, which has seven points, one for each of the six states of Australia and the seventh representing all the territories, mainland and offshore.
Each of the stars which form the constellation of the Southern Cross also have seven points, except for the smallest which has just five - for no particular reason, other than that it is smaller.

6 Stars on the Australian Flag ...? LT
There are no stars in the union jack. There are three crosses: England's St. George's cross, Scotland's St. Andrew's cross and Ireland's St. Patrick's cross. There are, however, 6 stars on the Australian flag which has a union jack in the top left hand corner. The 5 stars that are on the right side of the flag represent a constellation of stars called the 'Southern Cross'. All of these stars have 6 points which represent the 6 states of Australia. The star on the left hand side of the flag is called Federation star. This is larger and has 7 points which represent Canberra and the Northern Territory.
The Australian flag shows a union jack on a blue field with white stars. The union jack represents Australia's British heritage, the Southern Cross Constellation represents Australia's location, and the 7 stars represent the 6 territories and Australia.
Looks like the British flag with a blue border and 6 stars inside the border.
No one really know!!6 Sides on a Snow Flake

I'm an Australian that knows very little about American history, but I would assume that the "Star Spangle Banner" is part of the American flag. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the stars are a representation of the number of uniting states. ____________________________ The flag of the United States of America is composed of 13 stripes, alternating red and white (7 red, 6 white) with a blue field and white stars. The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies that broke away from England in 1776, and the 50 stars represent the 50 states in the United States.
