Not a fan of the golden wattle design, it looks like what you'd get if BP asked someone to design them a new flag and do a bit of creative writing to make it sound good.
The Eureka flag could have been a good option in the past but I feel it's a bit too associated with either unions or cookers these days to be accepted by everyone (would prefer if the cookers gave up on it and left it to the unions).
Modifying the Eureka flag is an idea which I think has a bit of potential but the Great Southern Flag just throws too much at it. Maybe just turning it green and gold and making the stars seven pointed instead of eight would work better.
I kind of like this other design which I found in an image search for alternative flags - fairly simple design (drawable by kids if you're prepared to put up with wonky kangaroos) using generally recognisable and neutral symbols and I think it looks alright.
