This is omega Centuari a huge star cluster. Keep working almost directly left to the next brightest star being iota Centuari. Work down and slightly to the left to i Centuari. Work directly left of i Centuari to star hr5128. From that star it should only be just above it and not very far.
I'd love to give these directions to a Melbourne taxi driver..
