Previous Issues of Crux Australis
Following is a complete listing of all issues of Crux Australis including all the major articles. Minor "notes" and illustrations without text are not included. Issue 4 of each volume includes a full index of all flags and topics contained within individual articles. Articles which do not have an identified author are credited to the editor at the time. Pages in Issues 1-24 were numbered individually; for later issues, pages are numbered sequentially by volume.
Each of the state libraries in Australia subscribed to Crux Australis and all issues from No.1 are available in their reading rooms. Whilst several state libraries ended their subscriptions (as an economy measure), Flags Australia has restored availability of Crux Australis to the general public by providing complimentary subscriptions to the libraries.
All past issues of Crux Australis are available for sale by Flags Australia, though some early issues are only available as photocopies.
