I live in Australia and when the moon isn’t full it always appears to fill up from the bottom up. So a new moon looks like a croissant with the curved side facing down. But on northern hemisphere flags like Turkey for example it appears as a croissant standing up with the curve facing left. Does the moon appear to wax and wane from top to bottom or left to right in different parts of the world?

In addition to what others have said, if you search for images of the full moon from different latitudes (like by naming a city a photo was taken in) you will notice the moon doesn’t suddenly flip after the equator but has a different angle from each latitude making it appear to have rotated
