The rules have to be adjusted for the Southern Hemisphere. There is a good article online by Roger Green, who is the feng shui expert in Sydney, where he discusses exactly what you are asking about.
Good luck to you and peaceful surroundings in your life
There are 2 aspects you have to consider when studying Feng Shui –
1. General guidelines – this applies to most people, more like common sense when choosing your property. Some basic rules are like: the back side of the lot should be slightly higher than the front side (better visibility when looking outside), avoid the houses with a front door facing a straight running street (the constant moving chi will disturb the stability of the household), don’t plant large trees right in front of the front door (so the chi will not be blocked)….
2. Specific to the owner/principal – this has to take the owner’s “ba-tze” (8 characters) into consideration. According to ancient Chinese, each individual has a unique combination of life force elements (metal, wood, water, fire & soil) based on unique birth date & time. So a good Feng Shui may work for someone but not necessarily for another – this is why someone becomes a millionaire after moving into a house, but the successor may file for bankruptcy.
Feng Shui is a very complicated subject & unless you have a very thorough understanding it may not always bring the effect you expect (sometimes it could work in opposite direction without your knowledge).
Whatever adversity one experiences – either Feng Shui or “ba-tze”, one can usually find the power/strength to overcome through the higher/divine force (God).
