The south barrier is located at /way 43, 84. Hope this helps.

People have already contributed to where you can find the barriers via waypoints. Below is a consolidated easy-to-grab list you can copy (thanks Currently and Blynkiboo), and throw into something like the Paste addon, should you use TomTom
/way #2472 43, 84 South barrier
/way #2472 41.3, 62.8 Northeast barrier
/way #2472 30.6, 62.9 Northwest barrier
If you don't have TomTom, but a different waypoint addon that makes use of the /way feature, here is the same list, without the map id:
/way 43, 84 South barrier
/way 41.3, 62.8 Northeast barrier
/way 30.6, 62.9 Northwest barrier
Keep in mind, that if you don't have TomTom or a waypoint addon that makes use of the /way feature, you can click on anyone's coordinates, in Wowhead, and choose the in-game map pin option. Then all you have to do is go into the game, hit enter into the chat window, paste what you copied and hit enter a second time. In your chat window, you'll see something like [Map Pin]. When you click this, it will stick the map pin on your map. Yes, this process is a bit convoluted and should at least maybe steer you towards getting TomTom. It really will make your life easier.

Why the hell do some of these interactable "projectors" become non-interactable thus making it impossible to complete this WQ? Multidollar company apparently.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
