Thanks Shane.

OK then, let's ask the simple question since I don't have a scope to look through and confirm - when I look with the naked eye from Melbourne and use my superman-vision as Saturn rises tonight, I expect to see the rings tilted with left side up and right side down (correct?) Then, is the lower pole tilted towards me or away from me (meaning - do the rings cross the disc apparently above or below the line of sight to Saturn's equator)?

Once I know what it should look like, I'll be able to convince myself that I can see it that way
