Dave,
Palm Pilot App USNO
Lon 175° 5.2' E
Lat 32° 20.3 S
Dec 23° 19.0' N
Hc 18° 55.7' Hc 18° 55.7'
Az 328.7° Az 328.7°
Your Sun Facts App may be rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree (Hc 18.9°). If so then it could be as much as 3' off on any given observation. See if you can get another digit precision out of it some how.

I have attached a pdf file showing my working. All longitudes are East. I note that I have been lazy and not always written the "E". I hope that the file makes sense.
