   The only 'southern star' that comes immediately to mind is Belle Starr.  Did   
   she ever play that part?  She certainly was /equipped/ for it.  :-)   
      
   We don't actually have a star that provides the same function as Polaris.    
   Instead we rely on some geometrical juggery-pokery, using the axis of the   
   Southern Cross & a cross-sectioning of the two 'pointer' stars (i.e. the   
   Centauri pair).  The *intersection* of the elongated axis of the Cross, down   
   to the horizon, and a line drawn from the bi-sectioning of a (imaginary) line   
   between the pointers, down to the horizon, indicates South.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
