The Australia women's national volleyball team, also known as Volleyball Team Australia Women (VTAW) or the Volleyroos, is the national volleyball team of the volleyball playing nation of Australia. As of January 2016, they are ranked 41st in the world.[1] They are a member of the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC).


The Australian Women’s program commenced the 90's ranked 6th in the Asian zone, and they maintained this ranking throughout the decade, due in part to the strong nature of women’s volleyball in Asia, with teams like China, Japan and Korea all ranked in the top 8 of the world at the time. With the support of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), they achieved 9th place in the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Following this the Volleyroos achieved its highest ever world ranking of 14th. They then achieved a 6th-place finish at the 2001 Asian Championships, and qualified for a second World Championships.


Their historic inclusion in the 2014 Women’s Grand Prix has helped the Volleyroos improve, through additional match experience against quality teams from around the world.[2]

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time.
