I think the Northerners come down here at that time because it is the best time to appreciate the highlights of the southern skies. And they must truly be blown away, not only by Carina, but also, particularly, Cantaurus and the LMC as well.
Whilst Carina is wonderful, it is not my favourite. Each to their own, I suppose!
Edit: I should also disclose, in the interests of complete transparency, that my star sign is officially Sagittarius (although in fact it should be Ophiucius)....
