Ah huh!
We have 7 of the top 10 brightest Globulars well down in the southern hemisphere incuding the three brightest!
1) Omega centauri in Centaurus Mag 3.9 Dec -47
2) 47 Tuc in Tucana Mag 4.91 Dec -72
3) NGC 6752 in Pavo Mag 5.4 Dec -59
4) M13 in Hercules Mag 5.8 Dec +36
5) NGC 6397 in Ara Mag 5.9 Dec -53
6) M22 in Sagittarius Mag 6.17 Dec -24
7) NGC 2808 in Carina Mag 6.2 Dec -65
8) M3 in Canes Venatici Mag 6.2 Dec +28
9) M15 in Pegasus Mag 6.2 Dec +12
10) M55 in Sagittarius Mag 6.3 Dec -31
NB. Of these 10, only really M13 is not well placed for viewing from mid southern latitudes (although still a good view when crossing the meridian from most of Australia) all the others are easy pickings!
So see?.. this is yet another reason why you located your APO down under
