The Big Dipper is part of the Ursa Major constellation, which is located in the northern celestial hemisphere. Since Australia is situated in the Southern Hemisphere, observers there cannot see the Big Dipper as it is below the horizon. Instead, Australians have access to southern constellations, such as the Southern Cross, which are not visible from northern latitudes.
