I'm an Indian passport holder, currently in the US on the H-1B. My first H-1B expired, and I've renewed/extended it already. I have all the documents I need from the USCIS and I'm going to be headed to India to get it stamped.

Seeing as I'm way overdue for a vacation, and Australia's on my bucket list, I'd like to spend a couple of weeks in Australia on the way over. Does anyone have any experience with doing something similar? I'll be traveling sometime in May 2017. I'm assuming I need to apply for the "Visitor visa (subclass 600)". Are they likely to look sideways at the unstamped H-1B? I'll have a ticket headed from Australia to India, and then India to the USA beforehand.

On its own would, IMO, be too broad

No. What counts is that (a) you have the requisite Australian visa, (b) outbound from USA, you hold a passport for your destination after Australia and (c) on the way back you have a valid visa for USA.
