vonstassburg, if it is Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 you were wondering about (don't know if that is the one breaking up), unfortunately it appears to be northern hemisphere and fairly faint (currently 8th magnitude with 6th magnitude being the nominal naked eyeball cut off).
edit: More info and pretty pictures at the Bad Astronomy Blog.
Additional current comet info:

Weekly Information about Bright Comets
WRT Southern Hemisphere stuff, check Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand. Some of their stuff is a little out of date though. Though the RASNZ conference for 2006 (in New Plymouth) has David Levy as guest speaker (remember Shoemaker-Levy 9?). Also the new director of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). 30th June - 2 July. I wont be making it over but others may be interested.
