In Australia hitching is okay as anywhere else in Western culture, as long as you´re between Adelaide and Brisbane. But in the outback you´ll get more empty beer cans thrown on you than rides.
Most police officers won't harass you, but some cops might tell you that it's illegal to hitchhike in Australia. Don't show your thumb when you see a cop car, and if they stop, just tell them that you're waiting for a ride share that should've showed up a lot earlier.

I have hitched the entire coast line of Australia, and although there are sometimes a long wait between rides, I have met some of the most generous and welcoming people, make sure you get to the edge of the towns, just where the highways start or turn from a 70 into a 100, or similar.
