No. There is no record of Japanese soldiers landing on Australian soil. Much damage was done with the air bombings of Darwin and Broome. Japanese submarines also entered Sydney Harbour in 1942, and successfully torpedoed the naval depot ship HMAS Kuttabul, killing 19 Australians and 2 British sailors. Their attempts to hit the Sydney Harbour Bridge fell far short of the mark. But there is no indication that any Japanese soldiers ever landed on Australian soil.
