Australia went into ww2 because Japan bombed Pearl Harbour and they were coming closer to Australia. On a9 of February 1942, Darwin was bombed. The two areas that were heavily bombed were the Post Office and the Wharf because they wanted to cut of communication. They obviously knew the area well. Darwin suffered 64 air raids.

THE ABOVE IS INCORRECT - AUSTRALIA WENT TO WAR ON 3 SEPTEMBER 1939 AND HAD BEEN FIGHTING IN MANY CAMPAIGNS ALONGSIDE THE BRITISH AND OTHER COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES. THE USA WENT INTO THE SECOND WORLD WAR FOLLOWING THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOUR. AUSTRALIA HAD ALREADY BEEN FIGHTING THE JAPANESE IN MALAYA AND SINGAPORE.
