Do compasses point south in Australia?

Question

Im sorry I should know this

Answer 1

Because the Earth's magnetic field varies at different latitudes, compasses are often balanced during manufacture. Most manufacturers balance their compass needles for one of five zones, ranging from zone 1, covering most of the Northern Hemisphere, to zone 5 covering Australia and the southern oceans. This balancing prevents excessive dipping of one end of the needle which can cause the compass card to stick and give false readings. Suunto has recently introduced two-zone compasses that can be used in one entire hemisphere, and to a limited extent in another without significant loss of accuracy.

Answer 2

No they should point north.

Although you are on a different half of the Equator, the compass's north does not change.

This is what makes them useful tools.

Answer 3

No, they should still point North.
