What would be the coordinates of a star located due south and on the horizon?

A star's 'coordinates' are constant, and refer to its position on the 'celestial
globe' ... a system of coordinates that rotates with the sky and doesn't depend
on where you see it (or even whether you see it).
One possible description of where you see the object in your sky is in terms of
its altitude ... height above the horizon ... and azimuth ... true direction from you.
If the star is due south and on the horizon, then its altitude is zero, and its
azimuth is 180° . Its celestial coordinates could be literally anything, depending
on the date, the time, and where you are located when you see is.

What does it mean if the north star sinks below the horizon?
If you see the North Star go below the horizon, assuming you have identified it correctly, then you would have to be moving south across the equator.
If you were standing on the earth's equator where would you look to see the north celestial pole Could you see it from Australia?
At the equator, the celestial north pole would be north, just at the horizon. In the southern hemisphere, for instance in Australia, the north celestial pole would be north, and as many degrees BELOW the horizon as your latitude. For instance, if you are 10 degrees south of the equator, the celestial north pole would be 10 degrees below the equator.On the other hand, for people in the southern hemisphere, the celestial SOUTH pole would be ABOVE the horizon; this same pole is below the horizon for anybody in the northern hemisphere.

Is it possible to have a black hole with the mass of the earth and if so what would be its event horizon?
Yes, but it would be tiny! A black hole with a mass that's equivalent to that of the Earth would have to have a diameter of less than 9mm (and its event horizon would be located at this point).
