As for "Crusader Rabbit" and any Australian telecasts:
Earliest documented broadcast in Sydney was on Monday 6 October 1958, aired at 6:54PM on ATN-7, preceded by a newscast and followed by "Waterfront". It aired five nights a week. It aired against newscasts on ABN-2 and TCN-9.
The earliest documented broadcast in Melbourne was on Monday 9 February 1959, aired at 5:10PM, preceded by a butchered Gene Autry film and followed by the local kids show "The Happy Show". It aired weekly.
Bizarrely, the earliest documented broadcast in Canberra was on Sunday 17 September 1978, aired on CTC-7 as part of "Cartoon Corner".
I have no information on broadcast history in Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, all of which got TV in 1959. I also don't know if it was shown in Hobart (which got TV in the early 1960s). For that matter, I don't know whether it was shown in Darwin (which didn't get TV until the 1970s. I guess it was very backward city). I also don't have information on most regional areas.
I do know, however, that it's earliest documented broadcast in Gippsland was on 14 December 1961, aired at 6:00PM on GLV-10, preceded by "programme information" and followed by "Rin Tin Tin".
I don't know when it was first shown in Bendigo, but it was being shown there by March 1962 as part of "Cobbers' Teleclub", a live local kids show aired on BCV-8.
