I'm working on one (vaguely inspired by them, at least) myself, I know u/non_clever_name had some ideas for one. Both of us were going more North Australia/Daly River inspired than Pama-Nyungan though. u/opipik has done some stuff with Aboriginal languages as well. There's a couple other people who's reddit names I can't remember who've worked on australianeqsue stuff too.

As for what to use, the Oxford Handbook of Polysynthesis has been helpful in my case. This as well. Sealang in general has lots of good resources. If you want to do something more PN-y (or anything really) the pile has lots of grammars and some are even good. I highly recommended the Upper Arrernte grammar since it is designed for beginners. Dixon has written (despite his controversial opinions) a very good book on this, which I was able to borrow from my university library.

It's not easy to find resources for Australian languages, but they are out there. Go, try, and ask questions here. There are definitely some people who can sort of answer!
