In my earlier post I claimed confusion about S96W, claiming that it should be N96W. The fog has just lifted and I realise that 96 deg measured anticlockwise from north is in the SW quadrant. Hence the designation is S96W and Burdwood is correct!
See the attached diagram and sorry for the confusion.
