Australia was attacked many, many times by the Japanese in the first years of World War II, but it was never directly invaded by Germany. Germany was seen as a threat in both world wars, but it was a distant threat, being confined to Europe.

Both the Japanese and Germans periodically sent naval forces to raid and attack Australian shipping that was aiding the British Commonwealth war effort. On occasion, the Japanese also delegated bombings on Northern Australia between 1942 and 1943. German U-boats were also dispatched to disrupt Australian harbors.

The only time there was a foreign military presence in Australia during World War II was in 1944 when a small Japanese reconnaissance party landed in Kimberley.
