As an Australian you’ll get a Schengen-visa (for travelling up to 90 days in those countries) when entering at the border or airport, but as far as I know you have to apply for a “travel & work visa” in advance (it’s valid a year). And keep in mind that you might need more than one “travel & work visa” because its only a bilateral agreement e.g. between Australia and Germany. I’m not sure if you’re allowed to work in any other Schengen Country than that who issued the working holiday visa, and most likely you are not allowed to work in other european countries.

Yes, I suppose you could go with just a passport and a plane ticket. But if you don’t have a passport you have to get it early because it takes between a month and forever to get one.
