Some of them, yes. Constellations along the Zodiac can be seen from either hemisphere, but constellations well away from the celesial equator cannot be seen very far in the other hemisphere. For example, Ursa Major is not visible in Australia, and the Southern Cross is not visible in Europe or North America. Most of the "official" constellations were named by northern hemisphere astronomers, or European navigators sailing in southern waters. Look at how many southern hemisphere constellations have a nautical theme; the Telescope, the Octant, the Quadrant. Even Cetus, the Whale, was named by sailors, not people who LIVED there.
