Darwin had been heavily bombed by Japanese Aircraft Carriers in early 1942. The Battle of the Coral Sea pretty well ended any further Japanese plans for expansion towards Australia.

How and why did the relationship between Australia and America change due to World War 2?

The Menzies government had committed Australia to World War 2, blindly following Britain. Our troops were committed to the war in Europe and the Middle East even though Germany was not threatening Australia. When the Japanese entered the war, there was a direct threat to Australia, and with Britain fully committed to Europe, Australia had no alternative to allying with the US for protection. This realism of meeting threats to Australia and Britain's post-war withdrawal from South East Asia meant that Australia's strategic interests were interlocked with those of the US in the Pacific.
