If Australia continues north into the tropics and shares similar environments with Indonesia, could it be possible for exchange between the two landmasses?

It is very possible, but in the Neocene Australia is joined only to New Guinea, which has mostly similar fauna. The impact with Indonesia (Sunda land) would be later (35-50 Mio from now).

I was thinking about how this would affect the Wallace's Line - the biogeographical division between the Oriental and Australasian realms. Plants and animals have moved along this boundary (for instance, the native Australian mice east or the Sulawesi cuscus species west). If Australia continues north, its position relative to Indonesia could alter the Wallace's Line.
What I was saying is with a change in the Wallace's Line and the sharing of similar climate, it could make distributions between Asia and Australia possible.
