They insured that they helped out the Americans all they could! And hoped like heck that the IJN wouldn't invade Australia, and hoped like heck that the IJN could be stopped at Coral Sea...which they were.
If we are speaking of the attack by the Japanese on Sydney Harbour the fact is that it had practically no impact on Australia Aside from the tragic effect it had on the friends and relatives of those that were murdered as a result of this action.
it gave Australians something to be proud of, something that when people from all over the world see it in a picture or postcard, they would say "ahh, that's from Sydney" it also is very useful during new years eve celebrations (fireworks and stuff)

Yes all 4 of them are from Sydney, Austraila.
Australia had been attacked by air in the north at Darwin. Its pans to defend a line around Brisbane were upset by the daring attack in Sydney Harbour. This attack increased public fears of an amphibious attack on the south, but of course this could not have happened as the Japanese had run out of resources to do any out any substantial invasion. The best they had left for the invasion of New Guinea was a marine regiment in the failed attempt at Milne Bay and a scratch half-division at Kokoda. Australia's forces were five infantry and three armoured divisions in Australia and three infantry divisions returning from the Middle East. Still, that didn't stop[ a panic over the Sydney event. Our government was not very adept at responding to psychological warfare to put it mildly.
