Plugging your latitude (26°S), longitude (144°E), local time (04:16), local date (July 16, 2009), and time offset from universal time (+10 hours) into a celestial navigation calculator gives a bearing of 40°. The moon is actually closer to the northeast than north-northeast. Your estimated bearing is off by 14°, good enough for rough direction finding.

Moon’s bearing - Example 2:

You’re in southern Greenland (62°N, 45°W), on March 29, 2005. At 02:54 local time the moon looks like the illustration on the left.
