Yeah, Imperial Japanese Navy had their sights on Austraila as "easy pickings". Only reason they did not is they couldn't maintain the supply lines over such a distance and they wanted the troops needed for such an invasion in Manchuria to protect against a move by Russia. Australia had no defenses to speak of. Had Japan won at Midway, achieved a "Cold War" status with the US and kept their "Co-Prosperity Sphere" in Asia as planned, Australia would have been forced to submit or be crushed.
