The coordinates lead to somewhere on the Gold Coast which is in Australia.
Australia = Upside down land

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/upside-down-australia

Upside-Down Australia refers to a common online trope in which Australia and the situations taking place in the continent are represented by an image being flipped upside-down, typically within memes. This is due to the fact that Australia is the largest meme-producing country in the Southern Hemisphere, and with much of the Western meme community concentrated in Europe and North America, they jokingly perceive themselves as right-side-up in comparison to their Australian counterparts. This cliche also shares similarities to the belief that toilets in Australia flush in reverse.

the belief that toilets in Australia flush in reverse

Isn’t this actually true? I remember reading that water circles the drain (and so toilet water will also circle) in the opposite direction from the Northern hemisphere.

and TIL some more:

Coriolis deflection sets cyclonic systems turning counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Likewise, a cannonball fired due north will seemingly veer a teeny bit to the east, and one fired to the south will apparently deflect ever so slightly to the west, deviations a skilled gunner would know to adjust for.
