It's a "trivial" piece of spherical trigonometry to derive the distance and bearing of one location to another.
With your apparently dodgy location IIS has you 3,436km from me. Using Geoname Australia's location for Margaret River (township) I get a bearing from here of 259.024 degrees and great circle distance of 3391.8 Km (1830.26 Nautical Miles, 2107.57 Statute Miles).
