Times changed. You forgot New Guinea and Borneo as physical barriers, but anyway.

The highest peak in New Guinea (highest in Indonesia so forget Borneo) is slightly less than five kilometers high, the highest point Australia claims is three kilometers high and it's in Antarctica, the service ceiling of a F-16 is about fifteen kilometers, and F-35s probably higher, the service ceiling of a CN-235 is more than seven kilometers. So no, their jets would be able to get to Australia, especially since they have the Philippines. Do I have to point out that Japan never used jets against Australia?

I don't know about the Great Barrier Reef, but the only way that would be an obstacle is if there was a naval flanking move against Queensland, and they could just flank that too. Besides, Cape York and the rest of northern Australia is the likely invasion point, and western Australia too. Notice the lack of a Great Barrier Reef there.

Korean troops aren't going to just "die", any decent commander would prepare them for combat there, throw your wildlife and climate at them, with decent logistics and supplies and training they'll still be fine.

Besides, it seems to me you're making a big fuss over a wartime threat.
