From a strategic standpoint, beating Aussie down would have been the goal moreso than invading the continent. They only invaded those landmasses which afforded them an advantage in air combat via landstrips. Australia wouldn't have offered them much in that way (plus, it's a huge landmass to which resources would have to have been diverted).
