The Japs were later pushed back to the northern beaches by the Aussies where US troops were brought in to take Buna, they refused to fight, MacArthur sent Eichelberger up there "to sort them out" ,the Aussies after taking their objective Gona, then took Buna and Sananada. Aust also defeated the Japs at Milne Bay which was the first defeat of the Japs on land in WW2. Aussies fought in Malaya, Borneo, Bouganville, Timor, Darwin, Rabaul, etc See Kokoda The Bloody Track on youtube

Aust mostly had militia troops initially in New Guinea. Churchill and Roosevelt did not want our Army returned from the mid east to defend our own country. Curtin demanded the that troops be returned. So 400 untrained 18-19 yo militia troops took on the vanguard of 10,000 japs and with fighting withdrawls delayed the Japs adv by two weeks, Japs had given themselves 2 weeks to take Port Morseby. Just in time the returned Army got to them at Isurava before they were wiped out .

my father served in the Papua New Guinea campaign in 1944-45 and this video is a wonderful tribute to him and all aussie soldiers who fought gallantly during that time. Lest we forget.
