As you mentioned you can see the Southern Cross, the south celestial pole ( SCP ) is a fair distance from the Southern Cross , about 35 to 40 degrees in azimuth or about the length of your forearm held up horizontally, where the fist is the Southern Cross and the SCP is the tip of your elbow.
If your using a Pole Master to polar align then hopefully you have clear line of sight from your scopes central axis to the SCP.
