Hi Brett,
You've made remarkable progress in a very short time!
I'm a Linux user rather than Windows, so I can be of limited help there.
I can add to Steve's reply.
Firstly, you need to convert that pbf file to an osm one. You use the
osmosis program to do that.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis
Here's the Linux script I run to turn the pbf file I download into the
Garmin gmapsupp.img file. It's a routable "road" map for my Garmin nuvi
car GPS unit. I also create a cycling-orientated map for my Garmin 60CSx.
#!/bin/sh
cd $HOME/OSM/mkgmap/style/work
/usr/user/osmosis-0.39/bin/osmosis --read-bin
$HOME/OSM/mkgmap/style/australia-oceania.osm.pbf --write-xml australia.osm
/usr/bin/java -Xmx1400M -jar /usr/user/splitter-r181/splitter.jar
--cache=/tmp --output=xml australia.osm
rm australia.osm
/usr/bin/java -ea -Xmx1400M -jar /usr/user/mkgmap-r1995/mkgmap.jar
--remove-short-arcs --style-file=$HOME/OSM/mkgmap/style/roadrte --route
--gmapsupp -c template.args
mv gmapsupp.img $HOME/OSM/mkgmap/road
rm *.*
cd
I hope it hasn't wrapped, and still makes "Unix-sense". I've inserted
blank lines for readability just in case. Note that I need to use the
splitter because my australia.osm file is so large. The splitter
creates a series of manageable (smaller) osm files.

Ok thanks to John I am starting the first baby step to using mkgmap so I
have installed Java. It think it works as I am using JOSM and that
worked. Downloaded a small sample file of the Walls area using OSM data
extract as I could not as yet figure out the other option and
"borrowing" Australia from another suggested site was a bit big in file
size for me and I was hoping to avoid splitting at this stage working on
the KISS principle. This created a Walls_test.OSM file. Now quite
chuffed with progress but then came unstuck here with this command line
instruction.
java -jar mkgmap.jar --route --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --index
--gmapsupp *.osm.pbf
Now this is were my newbie status shows in spades. Am I correct to
assume that this is a DOS command line instruction? If it is I then get
this error
'Java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Now and ice age of two has passed since I used DOS or Unix in anger and
something tells me for "java" to be recognized it needs to be in a
path. Ironically I would have a better chance of doing this in Unix
than DOS as I once used .profiles extensively in Unix. Now if you have
fallen off your chair laughing as this is not a command line instruction
then please point me to what I should be doing. Also big hint on
scripts would be good. I assume it might be a text file you
write/steal/borrow?
The idea is to create a MEM (Middle Earth Map for an Ent) just for
Tassie at this stage with the zoom levels optimised for bushwalking. By
that, big peaks and foot tracks showing up big time. As mentioned I
played with the OSM_Australia *.IMG files with good success but they are
optimised for motorised wheel machines not the la (or is is le?) ped.
The ultimate is to bring contours and wait for it, natural features such
as heath which is code for somewhere to pitch a tent. If I get it right
then from the satellite imagines I should have a few spots pre-worked
out. For those that have walked you can be five metres away from a
perfect campsite but never know it.
As again any pointers greatly appreciated.
