Yeah I think part of the difficulty is that there are multiple ways to do things and not everyone agrees on what is the best way. There are some groups that have put their entire Puppet code base on GitHub. I bet you could find some by Googling or searching on GitHub. That's one of the nice things about Hiera -- you separate any sensitive data from the code, and so it's not a problem to share the code with others if you choose to.
One of the best blogs I have found is Gary Larizza's: http://garylarizza.com Gary works at Puppet Labs and has a ton of great information there. Also the second edition of Pro Puppet has a lot of good information on things like Hiera and writing modules with specific examples. That would be a good place to start, in my opinion.
