Nice mount you have bought Russell.
The magnetic declination for Batemans Bay is 12.9ºE therefore you need to point the 'South' leg of your tripod on a bearing of 167.1º to line up with the Geo South. The fine-tuning is then done with the azimuth adjusters on the base of the mount.
As for the altitude scale on the mount, these have been known to vary in their accuracy quite a bit. Better to get an inclinometer. Batemans Bay latitude is 35.7ºS.
(Have they fixed the bridge cables yet???)
