Why did Japan conquer Australia?

Japan never conquered Australia. Japan did attack Australia during World War 2 however Australia and her new ally of the USA, and with a great deal of assistance from the natives of Papua New Guinea, defeated Japan. (Britain, Australia's long-time ally, was unable to assist as it was preoccupied with Germany in Europe, and had already been demoralised by the Fall of Singapore). As to why Japan sought to conquer Australia in the first place - Japan basically wanted control over the entire Pacific region. Seeking to expand its empire, it continued to push south, taking control of the Malay Peninsula and pushing on to New Guinea.
