1. You can try:

site:lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au thing I'm looking for

in Google but results are not so reliable.

2. Nabble has a searchable version of the list:

http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Australia-f5416966.html

which goes back to June 2008 so the first year of the list is missing

3. The Mail Archive has a searchable version:

https://www.mail-archive.com/talk-au@openstreetmap.org/

which goes back to Feb 2008.

So long as you are not adding anything that will get OSM into trouble 
(copyright violation, things you only know because you're in the 
business but you're not supposed to talk about them...) then knock 
yourself out.
