[QUOTE="condor22, post: 577820, member: 1932"] Use your watch as an approximate compass in the southern hemisphere, hold it horizontal, point the hour hand at the sun. Half way between that point and the twelve o'clock mark on your watch points North. If your watch is digital, a rough sketch on the ground will still give you a good approximate. You obviously need to know where the sun is, fortunately in OZ, there are very few days it's not obvious. [/QUOTE]
