they would have no chance of even a partial victory the whole idea is a disaster in the making... they would have been better off trying to take india via land and sea at least there was some political opposition there that could be exploited. australia does absolutely nothing to improve japan's strategic position
every trooper being sent there is getting a death sentence. the massive air superiority that the americans would build up would prevent transports from reaching their beachheads even at night.
the australians were not friendly fighters either i think few prisoners would be taken from someone who invaded their homeland. japan's lack of motorized capability will also prevent their troops from getting too far off the beach thus few trenches and little defensive capability will exist
its not that they wouldnt be crazy enough to do it... they were crazy enough to attack the us when yamamoto told them not to; its that there isn't a worthwhile objective in Australia short of conquering the whole country which was utterly impossible
