you're mount when set up should have one leg facing N and the other two e-W. that leaves the mount head to be pointing to the south celestial pole, or south pole ositiion in the sky..then you leave it as is when pointing to look at any object..the polar scope in the mount stays in place and does not move.
use a compass to get you roughly facing south, keep in mind the magnetic deviation though, melb is about 12 deg out, so you point to roughly 12 deg to the east of S..there is a map on this site somewhere
