The Moons Orbit

Probably a simple question, with a simple answer..

Why is it that the waxing moon is always further south (ie: directly overhead down under) but the waning moon is always further north (low in the north for us downunder)?

Is it due to the tilt of the earth, or the elliptical orbit of the moon?

Or something else?
