Ashmore and Cartier flag
The colours are based on the popular aboriginal flag, black, red and yellow.
Auckland Islands Flag
Flag of Auckland Island
Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, while Auckland Island is a remote island south of the main islands. Thus the flag is essentially a reversed image of the New Zealand Flag.
The UK flag in off center near the bottom for two reasons. First because Auckland Island is south of Auckland City. And second because New Zealand is in the South Pacific.
New Zealand already is down under, but there are two Aucklands in New Zealand - Auckland City on North Island, and Auckland Island which is south of South Island.

Flag of Macquarie Island
The canton is based on the Scottish Version of the UK Union Flag in honor of the islands namesake, Lachlan Macquarie, who was born in Scotland. The field is synonymous with the flag of Australia, its national body.

Kermadec Islands Flag
Flag of New Zealand's 'Earth Quake Islands'
Kermadec Islands Flag
These group of islands in the South Pacific are administered by New Zealand. They are named after Captain Jean Michael Houn Kermadec who visited the area at the end of the 18th century. This flag is thus a merge of designs of the French and New Zealand Flags - current and future. Future because whenever New Zealand chooses a new national flag the southern cross will be used and the star design will be red outlined with white.
The saw tooth design shows that this part of New Zealand lies along one of the most active boundaries of the Pacific Rim and is witness to many earthquakes every year.
They also represent the five main islands.
(1) Raoul Island - the largest
(2) Macauley Island - 2nd largest
(3) Curtis Island - 3rd largest
(4) Nugent Island - northern most
