Why did Australia taking part in World War 1?

Because Australia was a part of the British Empire, and did not have its own independent foreign policy. Australia's foreign policy was set by the British government, so when the British government declared war, Australia considered itself automatically at war. Even though the Australian government did not make the decision, it still strongly supported Britain. Australians thought of themselves as citizens of the British Empire, and thought that the security of the Empire was important for Australia's own security. Therefore they were happy to challenge Germany when it was viewed as a threat to the Empire.
