If you have access to a portable globe of the Earth, then take it outside and orient it correctly N S W E.
Then, use your imagination to project the plane of the Earth’s equator (from the globe) onto the celestial sphere and there it is!
The celestial sphere is an imaginary sphere in the skies, on which the stars appear to be located. It has a corresponding South Celestial Pole, around which the stars appear to revolve, which will lie due South of you at an altitude equivalent to your Latitude, which is 34 degrees for Sydney.
