Default Air australia

It is like the virgin Australia livery, looks plain on a larger aircraft, but looks ok on a smaller aircraft like an a320.

Also on the subject of different colours, Air Canada Jazz use different colours to represent the seasons.

Quite like it. Lime is a refreshing color and the stylised boomerang is an interesting interpretation. What else was around for an Australian theme?:
- Kangaroo, I thinks it's used
- Emu, They don't fly
- Cockatoo, Been there done that, ain't going back
- Southern Cross, As above
- Koala, Why would an airline want their symbol to be an animal that is very slow and sleeps all day?

haha, NOT to mention that they EAT, ...... and LEAVES [you can fill in the blanks]!!

Yes, I must say I am not a fan of it, true refreshing, but nothing in Australia is that green! Had it been a rust type red to represent the 'Outback' I could go with that, but that green is just a little to harsh... The Boomerang though, I like!

Bernie, I was in Alice Springs last year and overseas backpackers wanted their money back because- the Red Centre was in fact GREEN. Unbelievable sight.

Pardon my ignorance, but does, or will this livery fly into Cairns or Brisbane?
Cheers John

It could be interpreted loosely as "Green and Gold". I like the Boomerang as it flies and as mentioned earlier, always comes back.
But most of all, it's different, even unique. Well done Strategic! Now, get some Boeings and be awesome.

Sorry Ryan, I have to disagree. This livery looks nowhere near as plain as the new Virgin Australia livery does. I find Air Australia's livery to be quite refreshing.
