Get a good compass and once youve calibrated it for your magnetic deviation, the SCP will be situated 7.5 degrees to the left of the magnetic pole at your latitude. An inclinometer can help here.
Good luck
Hi Bert. The magnetic deviation changes a bit from place to place around australia - it's about 12 degrees in Canberra. If you dig around on the net you ought to be able to find a table that gives the deviation for different places in Australia.
