This might help:

http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS/XYZ/xyz.html

I just converted Hobart’s XYZ coordinates as listed in a VEX file and got the right Lat/Long back (but I haven’t checked to high accuracy). When I convert the NZ coords I get:
S362605.33759 E1743947.69887 132.1601 GRS80
Which looks OK. Certainly seems the handedness is correct.
I don’t vouch for metre-level accuracy in any of this but the signs look correct.
Cheers,
Jim
