In the top left corner is a representation of the Union Flag, which is a composite of the flags of St George, St Patrick, and St Andrew, which each are crosses.

The fourth cross on the flag is the Southern Cross, of the constellation CRUX.

In the NZ flag, the stars of the Southern Cross are each "red stars with a white background".
