Japan had already printed the currency for “occupied Australia”

A 30-man IJA recon contingent DID land, albeit briefly and unopposed, on the Australian continent for a couple days; they were searching for an airfield they’d heard rumors about.

Japanese ambitions on Australia were cancelled by the outcome of the Battle for the Coral Sea.

He had tapped into a telephone line in the rural area and had a radio transmitter.
