"Pipe Bands Australia"? They've been around since 1920.

Originally there were various Pipe Band Associations , they became Pipe Bands Australia in 1997.

"By the 1960s, all states had their own and the Federation of Pipe Band Associations was formed. In 1997 these associations all joined together to form one Australian Pipe Band Association, now known as Pipe Bands Australia."

I had hoped that the design in the middle of the flag would indicate a state or city.

Yes, don't know why I said they'd been around since 1920, I was thinking 1970's - oh well, not close and no cigar.

The "tree" design in the centre - is it a representation of the tree and fish etc from the Glasgow coat of arms?
