It was a failure.

On the the morning of June 1, 1942, three Japanese midget submarines entered Sydney Harbour intending to attack the US navy cruiser Chicago, docked at the Garden Island naval base. they did not succeed, one Japanese torpedo exploded against a sea wall next to a Royal Australian Navy accommodation boat, the HMAS Kuttabul. Twenty one sailors died aboard the Kuttabul trapped in small bunk rooms on the lower floors.

How successful and for what reasons was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?

The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred in an attempt by the Japanese to gain control of as much land as possible. The attack itself was very successful by damaging the ships in harbor. The one major point that was not expected was that none of the Aircraft carriers were in the harbor during the attack. Had they been, the US Navy would have nearly been wiped out according to information I have read. The information I have has come from various websites and books like "Day of Infamy" by Walter Lord.
