How does the view of the south celestial pole differ for observers south of the equator compared to the North Star's location?

The south celestial pole appears empty of prominent stars.

The situation in the Southern Hemisphere presents a stark contrast to the Northern view centered on Polaris. While the North possesses a bright navigational aid precisely at the celestial pole, the south celestial pole is an area in the sky that lacks any exceptionally bright or defining stars. Observers situated south of the equator witness all the stars in their vicinity rotating around this otherwise blank point. Furthermore, the direction of rotation is reversed; whereas Northern stars appear to move counter-clockwise around Polaris, stars observed from the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise around the south celestial pole.
