Andrew,
  A huge thanks to you as the images are so clear, you can see which way
horses and cattle are facing, sheep are however a little more difficult.
There is a huge opportunity for mappers to map the Adelaide Hills and KI
and as it's really rare to have access to this level of detail so have a
play and do a couple of farms or paddocks.

If you are using ID, visit a town called Lobethal
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/-34.9003/138.8654 and enter the
following custom background URL
https://cogeoxyz.b-cdn.net/46b53084a82973a36c0f57a1d5446c605d00ed851f11a6f5ca7c75db/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.jpg
as there is an issue with default background layer.

If you a re using JOSM use the background above for the area north and
south of Lobethal
