English: Flag at half-staff at the War memorial at Lake Rowan, Victoria. The flag is at the recommended position on the flag-pole: "[The half-mast position] is estimated by imagining another flag flying above the half-masted flag – in European mythology, the flag flying above is the flag of death. The flag must be lowered to a position recognisably half-mast so that it does not simply appear to have slipped down from the top of the flagpole. An acceptable position would be when the top of the flag is a third of the distance down from the top of the flagpole." — Australian flags (2022), Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Canberra, ISBN 0 642 47134 7, p. 23.
