Zero Point on the Longitude Scale

Hi guys, I live in Seymour, Victoria. I am trying to figure out what my zero point on the longitudinal scale is? More to the point do I have my maths correct?

I am +10 hours therefore 10 x 15 equals 150.

The longitude at my location is 147 degrees East.

Therefore I should be subtracting 150 from 147 which would leave me with -3.

I should then use the East side of my longitude scale and set it at -3?

If someone is able to verify that my process above is correct I would be greatly appreciative.

Cheers

Kris
