    Basic overview. Japan goes for 40 IPCs 4 VPs turn 1. After turn 1 units from Japan are shuttled to French Indo-China and then from there to Australia. At the same time Japan starts Strategic Bombing India.  Japan will most likely not be able to actually capture Australia. It does not need to. All Japan has to do is tie up the Allies down in and around Australia for a few turns drawing 4 or 3 Victory Points a turn. Once the Allies get a large enough force built up in Australia it is time to retreat the ground forces back to French Indo-China and start using ships to delay the Allies. Even if Japan is sub-stalled this is not the end of the world. The Allies still have a very sizable force of Japanese units to have to deal with in Australia. Also Japans ships from further in the rear can be used for the delaying duties of other islands.
