Hi Inferno,
Here is an article I wrote to help you find the SCP (South Celestial Pole). It involves looking at star patterns and "hopping" from bright stars to get you closer to the actual SCP near Sigma Octanis.
Have a look, it has pictures which show you and help you pinpoint things and was written by me when I was in the same boat as you.
Hope it helps
Cheers
Chris
