Just a heads up that GA have a tile service for their NATMAP 250K Topo Maps.

So if you add this to JOSM/etc you can use this as a base layer to
derive information from.

http://www.ga.gov.au/gisimg/rest/services/topography/NATMAP_Digital_Maps_250K_2008Ed
   ition_WM/MapServer/tile/{zoom}/{y}/{x}

The map is CC BY 3.0 AU as per
http://www.ga.gov.au/topographic-mapping/digital-topographic-maps/using-attributing-products.html

However as per the contributor terms I don't believe OSM allows one to
derive information from CC BY works and include this in OSM
(https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/624/can-i-use-or-trace-from-cc-by-data-under-the-new-contributor-terms
but) and attach the attribution to the feature as per the usual
methods, unless you requst some kind of special license above and
beyond what GA already grant via the CC license.
