My input: The Tropic of Capricorn grazes the top of "Antarctica" which would make Antarctica much, much larger than it really is. The Tropic does however pass through northern Australia, which is a much closer fit.

And: The centre of the map, the South Pole, could be a confusion. The Aboriginal people of Australia have their most sacred place right in the center - Uluru (previously known as Ayers Rock)
