Your explanation helps with the first step, but how can one quickly convert the Eastings and Northings to decimal lat/long? This works https://geodesyapps.ga.gov.au/grid-to-geographic but it's pretty fiddly and slow. If anyone has a more efficient method to convert, please let me know!
I've learned how to create detailed topo maps in QGIS, which is much more useful than a physical map in terms of the amount of detail you can get for a specific scramble. Plotting important coordinates directly into QGIS / other GPX apps would be very useful for creating a reference before adventures.
