I am new to this and it dont seem so easy.
I live in Rockingham W.A. and want to find true south. I have been to the Government site shown above and it gives me a reading of -4.634, however, someone else told me that I should point my compass due magnetic south and then the true south would be 12 degrees to the east of that. If the declination says -4.634, is that the difference, or 12 degrees. Is the -4.634 degrees or some other measurement.
