DJ magnetic variation for us around here in SE QLD is 11° - ie magnetic south and true south are 11° apart. Find magnetic south with your compass, then (facing that direction) align your mount 11° to the left / East of magnetic south.
(Those who actually have polar aligned mounts please feel free to correct me here - I'm just a poor dob owner who needs nothing except clear skies and flat[-ish] ground to get my scope working.)
