Welcome Cameron!
Anything you can do to improve the map is most welcome.
As far as comments go - 2 aspects to this ;
on the overall changeset - when you upload the data- Most like to see
something descriptive ... I like to see some comment on the source of
the information
on the individual added nodes/ways/relations - Adding the tag source=
here - I like to do this ... some of my edits have multiple sources ..
so I go overboard here and add the individual source tags.
The comments and sources are really to explain what your doing ..
both to yourself and to other mappers ... if you come to look back at
what you did a year ago they can be very helpful.
another 'explanation' tag is the note= tag .. the fixme= tag is for when
you know something needs more work.

Hi all,
Probably a good time to introduce myself.
I'm Cameron Shorter, a bicycle rider, and software developer (for
geospatial open source applications).
I live in Frenchs Forest, ride to the beaches and the city, and have
been adding in some connector paths that were not on OSM yet, (in
particular I'm hoping to improve data which drives OSM bicycle routing
engine).
I'd be happy to hear any advice on how I could improve my edits. Based
on feedback so far, I could probably do a better job of commenting my
edits.
Cheers, Cameron

Good news people. There seems to have been a surge in the number of
new mappers in Australia:
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-suspicious?country=3&hours=96&mappingdays=10&tsearch=&anyobj=t&comp=%3E&value=1000&action=c&obj=n#5/-30.600/148.425
and they all seem to be *very* interested in making sure every park
is on the map. Rivers and meadows are quite popular too.
