Adam,
A lot easier to give your crew the Lat/Long they enter it into
your cars GPS Navigator (you may need to
provide help desk like instructions) hit the Go To button and the friendly
lady inside provides them with directions
- works for me :-)

G'day All,
Just came accross this book @ a Benalla servo: RACV Vicroads Country Street
Directory of Victoria. So I'm guessing that there is a simular publication
for the remaining states.
http://www.mapsdownunder.com.au/cgi-bin/mapshop/RACVIC7.html
The opening page is a grid reference of the entire state. What the Brits do
is have one of these books in the cockpit of the glider, and another
identical (important!) book in the trailer or with your designated crew.
Simply ask the farmer to point on the map where you are, then relay the page
number and grid reference to your crew and let them sort out how they're
going to get to you!
The advantage the Brits had was that they have their whole country in one
book! So you may need to (depending on where you live/fly at the time)
carry two books.
Just an idea,
WPP
