Hi,It looks like an old problem with the geoparsers in DBpedia is still not
resolved.
Back in 2012, the geo-coordinates extractors were not leveraging the hemisphere
information correctly [3], causing some places from the southern hemisphere
(e.g. Melbourne) to appear in the northern hemisphere. Apparently it is still
there...
Compare the coordinates for Melbourne in Wikipedia [1] and DBpedia [2].

>From Wikipedia:coordinates =
>{{Coord|37|48|49|S|144|57|47|E|type:city(4000000)_region:AU-VIC|display=inline,title}}
>From DBpedia:| latd =37 |latm =48 |lats =49| longd =144 |longm =57 |longs
>=47
Melbourne is correctly placed on Wikipedia but incorrectly placed in DBpedia.
Nicolas.
