know the map and central meridian. The numbers in

Here is some info on the ACT gridThe ACT grid is a Transverse Mercator map
projection that uses the
longitude of Mt Stromlo Trig Station as its central meridian. It is
based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 66 (AGD66), which is modified to
take advantage of the ACT’s limited east-west dimension

There is about a 200m difference, depending where you are in
Australia, between ADG66 and DGA94/WGS84, which at first look is about
how far out your first guess was...
