It's taken Russia an army of well over 100,000 men several months to gradually capture territory in a country with which it shares a common border.
How much harder to conquer an island nation over 7000km away.
Yes, our population is spread along the coast, but that coast stretches for many 1000s of kilometres and we also have many larger inland population centres especially through Victoria, New South wales and Queensland
How hard would it be to transport troops and supplies in the numbers that would be required to take territory.
That assumes no intervention or support from other countries for our cause which would make the task even more difficult and leave the attacker open for retaliation from others.
