There are two track types. Track type Alt/Az gives the results in previous posts.
Using track type RA/Dec I got the following for Brisbane at 7pm.
SkyMapPro says.
Track type
This section of the dialog specifies the basic type of track displayed. Selecting RA/Dec will display a track showing the movement of the object in right ascension and declination; this is the "normal" type of object track and should be selected when you wish to see the movement of the object relative to the stars. Selecting Alt/Az will display a track showing the movement of the object in altitude and azimuth; this type of track shows the movement of the object relative to the local horizon, and can be used for such tasks as displaying the Sun's "analemma", or seeing when Mercury is best placed for observation in the morning or evening sky.
