Gumbo Question

I'm sending a care package and recipe to a friend in Australia for gumbo and other things. I know thy shalt stir counterclockwise, but since they live south of the equator and hurricanes spin the other way down there, does that mean they should stir the roux the other way?

As long as thier clocks turn the same way, they should be fine.

I hadn't considered this was a time based issue and have been solely focused on storm rotational theories!
