According to Starry Night Pro, the Az/Alt coordinates for the Moon for Brisbane 16th June are as follows:

4:00am Azimuth=259°, Altitude=32°
5:00am Azimuth=254°, Altitude=19°
6:00am Azimuth=248°, Altitude=7°

Azimuth uses True North so if we use a compass to settle on magnetic North, then the corresponding indications from the compass will be:

4:00am =248°
5:00am =243°
6:00am =237°

(Based on Brisbane mag var of 11°)

Provided there are no tall buildings blocking that sector of the sky, it should be good to go.

Cheers
