Kev,
You are sort of correct and this is why you need the N/S switch. However, only the south celestial pole is visible in the sky from south of the earth's equator. You can point the scope north, flip the switch but then you would have to point the polar axis down below the horizon at the north celestial pole which is 32 degrees below your north horizon.
So keep the mount pointing south. Regardless of which way you point the telescope on the mount, the mount polar axis is always pointing to south and so the mount always has to rotate clockwise.
