If you were really interested in having the moon phases on the calendar, I'd hope that there was a way to change them for the Southern Hemisphere; the example calendar they show displays the Northern Hemisphere moon phases.
No (practical?) difference between North & South. "Official" timing of phases will be independent of the position of an observer (eg full moon is when the moon is directly behind the Earth). At that moment, you might be able to argue that people residing where the sun is rising (or setting) perceive that the moon is not quite full. Time difference to account for that would be about 6 hours. Michael
