Ok there are three easily found Globular Clusters in that area. NGC6397 which is tucked in underneath Ara, NGC6584 which is about halfway between Ara and Pavo and NGC6752 which is just east but right beside Pavo. Have a look at the starry night image, it will give you a better idea. If you've not used Starry Night before the objects with the green rings around them in this image are Glob clusters (not all clusters are marked with rings though)
