I remember researching this in Jane's Fighting ships, and some other sources, back in the '90s, when I had better access to a university library. The only thing that I remember was that the navies were sort of well-matched in numbers, at least, but the air was much more in the Australians' favor.
Transport would be a huge problem for the invaders, as well as space.
Let's also not forget that if a war includes an English-speaking Navy, that side has almost never lost.
