Transit Ingress & Egress Locations???

Ok, now I am convinced that I am spatially challenged.

Diagrams for the transit path tend to be for the Northern Hemisphere and they show the 1st contact taking place in the NE quadrant of the Sun and travelling through to the NW quadrant.

The attached images are from Starry Night and viewed as if looking with the unaided eye from Southern Hemisphere Brisbane. I have added the N, S, E and W tags later. It seems to me that 1st contact will take place at the North West quadrant. I am keen to magnify the right part of the Sun for imaging.

I have got myself totally confused. Are these images correct?
