Yes, if your southern horizon is flat, the lowest declination will be -48, but don't expect to see too much below about -45 declination except for the REALLY bright stuff.

Don't be looking for a 15th mag galaxy at declination -47!



I think even these figures are generous. The lowest I've seen was M4 with my 12". It was at ~3 degrees, and quite faint. Not quite averted, but not a steady object.
