How to convert my file into lat/long coords?

I have an unknown source file with coordinates of Australia (the file is a cut down version as it was too large to upload here) with a value as a text file. However, I cannot work out what projection they have used and need this file in lat/long form instead.

Can anyone work it out? I'm really lost!

Thanks.

    It looks like it might be UTM zone -53 (southern hemisphere) with the WGS84 datum. If you load with that, then set the projection to Geographic on the Projection tab of the Configuration dialog you can then export to a new file and the coordinates will be lat/lon.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,
