Thank you for contacting Suunto.
Upon checking this compass has different hemisphere wherein we can us this.
Since you purchase this in Australia there is a change that this compass is set to be us in the Southern Hemisphere.
This information where we can know if where the compass is set is located on the box containing the compass.
If you do not have the box anymore than that is alright. What we can do instead is to test the compass once you are in Peru.
When we check it on the map Peru is located just below the equator line. So there might be a chance the compass might not work depending on the location.
I am sorry that this information is not much but this is the only information I have. I was able to partner with the group and we cannot specify which hemisphere the compass is set as both Northern and Southern hemisphere compass has the same face as the one on the photo.
Sincerely,
Grace
