The Jamacian flag is Black, Green and Gold. Nothing to do with Australia.
Black: Hardships overcome and to be faced
Gold: Natural wealth and beauty of sunlight
Green: Hope and agricultural resources

 

[Willow]

I seem to recall that the Green and Gold represent nature and sun.... ie love for the outdoors.
The Green and Gold is in fact the official colours of Australia. A lot of overseas people are surprised to know that the actual Aussie flag (with the pommie attachment) is red white and blue. No wonder we're a confused bunch.
