I would guess that there are more crossings in Australia that do not work in
conjunction with signals than crossings that do.

I doubt any of the signals between Junee and Albury (as a NSW example that I'm
familiar with) are in any way synch'd with signals unless at a station or
crossing loop. Otherwise you would have (where there is a signal near a level
crossing) a ridiculous situation where a train would have to slow down until
the booms lowered or flashing lights came on, not very practible at say 115KPH.
