South Celestial Pole
Most people know that you can find the South Celestial Pole (SCP) with the naked eye using the Southern Cross.
Another way is to go half way from Achernar to beta Centauri.
If you want to be more accurate take the midpoint between alpha Hydri and beta Centauri.
The star map below is from SkyMapPro.
Alpha Hydri is to the lower right of Achernar.
