Another SA person; welcome :) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_South_Australia talks a bit about some of the things happening.
In general, a lot of roads are accurate across the state; due to data.sa.gov.au datasets - names, maybe a little less so. Bus stops... fairly accurate from a GTFS feed. Addresses like you've added are great; keep on collecting 'em :) There's a few mobile tools that make it easy to record data; like Vespucci, if you are wandering around your neghbourhood. I find food related businesses really useful when using openstreetmap data, as well as things like drinking fountains (surprisingly useful but sparsely mapped!) AdelaideMetro's journey planner uses Openstreetmap as a base layer, so a few of us have worked on major transport interchanges or shopping centres with a reasonable amount of detail. If you are going through the CBD; capturing building levels or building height can be really neat Check out http://demo.f4map.com/#lat=-34.9306077&lon=138.5964838&zoom=16 or https://osmbuildings.org/?lat=-34.92743&lon=138.5999&zoom=16&rotation=0&tilt=30 and finally if you find yourself running out of stuff to map; consider data collection via Mapillary or OpenStreetView.
