Do it next time you have drifted well at Wiruna, look in the polar scope and memorise (draw) the cross hair location in relation to the stars you can see, hopefully you will see it pointing close to where the charts Barry posted show it. When you get back home you may find it harder to see the right stars but at least you will be more familiar and have a better chance of recognising what you need.
