Yeah, most towns will have a small park of some sort, unlike here they'll have drinking water outside. Bigger places might have sports fields. I'd probably avoid the roadside rest areas because they're often full of rubbish and people driving in for a quick piss stop.
I've done the 'immediate roadside sleep' too in a grassy patch... and... feckin' swarm of mozzies. My fastest ever bivvy deploy :)

The good thing about bivvying in the Nullarbor is that there are no mozzies (that I saw anyway) as not much water. The bad thing is that there is no grass, for the same reason. If it has rained, all your stuff gets covered in bright orange mud.

They vary. Some were not places to walk around at night with no shoes on.
The second one I stayed at there was a guy there who gave me the impression that he was trying to pick someone up. Having me sleeping there looked like it cramped his style

I went to a caravan park in Millicent (after finding the hotel that I had booked on booking.com at 8:15pm all locked up) and thought about it, but there wasn't any spot that grabbed me. So went and slept in a field outside town where a bit quieter.
In the remote areas there is often a campsite / rest area on the edge of a town. A couple of times I slept on the picnic tables that they have.
I did a couple of nights on benches, one in a street and one outside a roadhouse that was meant to have been open.
One night on the grass in a park in the middle of a biggish town.
I just did one night actual bush camping in the middle of nowhere, basically in an ants nest.
I had four nights in hotels and one that I rode right through
