Ok this is what I got from a brief walk around the neighborhood with OSMPad on my phone:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2569340857#map=17/-33.82359/151.25009&layers=ND The addresses line up to the post-box / domestic entrances where possible - my motivation here is to get places I travel to give accurate GPS coordinates from things like OSMAnd. The biggest problem at the moment seems to be the Bing imagery has a couple meter shift in this area, so things line up but the roads are offset a bit - I can't decide whether to recenter my points around the roads or not, since presumably if it's ever correct a big shift would then line everything up nicely.
