Print out a few sheets at http://www.walking-papers.org and go out for some exercise :D

If you still need to draw the streets, you must use a GPS which tracks your movement. If the streets are drawn, you can use walking papers.

I guess the Yahoo satellite images are of too low resolution to be usable?

You can ask Landgate whether they can give us permission to use theit data in OSM.
So you also have to explain the licence that OSM does hav or is going to have in the future.
(Yahoo gave us the permission to use their satellite images ...)

Welcome to OSM! All of the advice given above seems sound to me. In addition, I would suggest making contact with the Australian OSM community by joining the Australian mailing list:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
I'm sure folks there will be able to tell you whether any previous approaches have been made to state mapping agencies, and also maybe give you an idea of whether there is any hope!
However, data imports are a controversial topic within the OSM community. There is no consensus on how useful they are, but as some of the comments above hint, there is a near consensus that they are not useful in isolation (even strong advocates recognise the need for a community on the ground to correct, update and add value to the data). Above all, OSM is about volunteers actually surveying and mapping what is on the ground themselves. The Big Hairy Audacious Goal is to create the most awesome map in the whole world, of the whole world. I'm sure the guys at talk-au will give you the local perspective on this issue.
