Why would a clock go counter clockwise if invented in Australia?

It's generally assumed that the direction clock hands move is derived from the movement of the shadow around a sundial. In the Southern Hemisphere, that movement is opposite from that of the northern hemisphere. If clockmaking had developed in Australia so that they became dominant in that craft, it is likely that clocks would be running in the opposite direction.
