The sun,moon and stars travel BACKWARDS when you are upside-down.

Confuses northereners no end too see the Sun travelling towards their left as they look northwards at it.

Not to mention the upside-down constellations.

I travelled round Oz in the eighties and was lucky enough to work on a cattle station in the northern territories for about 6 weeks. We used to sleep outside in swags (special sleeping bags) and I could never get to sleep cos I was too busy looking at the most amazing skies - it's quite magical to just lie there in total peace and watch everything travelling slowly across the heavens - and yes, it was weird that it was all upside down & backwards!
Also slept on the beach a few times in Thailand for the same experience - don't know if it would be a good idea these days tho'......
