Hi Steve,
to IIS!
We don't have a "pole star" in the Southern Hemisphere like you do with Polaris in the North.
The polar scopes down here use the constellation "Octans" as a guide, but the stars in Octans are quite dim which make using polar scopes quite difficult - especially in light polluted areas. It's also just not a very well known constellation because there's not much of interest in it.
