Actually, Boreal is the word referring to "northern", as in, "boreal forest". Don't have a southern word, though

Also septentrional and meridional. For example, Southern Italy is known as Meridione. Meridional in current usage indicates motion towards the south.
I have a globe marked "Sep.", "Mer.", "Ori." and "Occ." Septentrion from Septentrio, from Septem Triones, the seven stars of Ursa Major (which is an asterism, as eny fule kno).

Put together a combination of the contributions of Back Burner, Bullethead, and galaxy flyer, and you've got it. It's Austral.
Aurora Australis got it's name from this origin (Southern Lights), and so too did Australia (Southern Continent).

I should have added, do a Google and take a look at the Wikipedia result (Last item on the Wikipedia links) :
"South, or of the Southern Hemisphere, often referred to by the adjective "Austral"
Australia rules....OK!!!
