yes. The moon is far enough for that. But it would be really low on both horizons.

It is possible, but as Finndo said it would be low for both of you.
The main reason is that, as others have stated, we aren't quite on opposite sides of the globe - but even if we were it would still be possible because the atmosphere acts as a lens, bending light and meaning we can see things just below the horizon.
It is this effect which also "slows down" sunsets and makes the sun appear to "hang" on the horizon - and also which makes the moon look oval near the horizon rather than round.

Yes because Australia is not exactly opposite the UK. New Zealand would be more difficult but even at the exact opposite point the moon could still be seen on the horizon. You can see about 1 deg past the horizon due to refraction of light.

Yes. Britain and the UK are not quite at opposite sides of the globe, so if the moon can be seen just before sunrise in Australia, it will be visible just after sunset in the UK. The moon must be nearly full for this to work well.

United Kingdom and Australia are separated by approximately 150 degree.
If the moon is seen in Australia, it will be seen in the same position after eleven hours approximately in United Kingdom

look at the timezone, if its still night time there and yes they will. the moon surface actually faces the earth each time due to the moon spinning and rotation around the earth. basicly, human on earth are looking at the same surface each time.

You'd need a bendy telescope. Argos sell them.
