Polynesians had the means and the tech to go to Australia long before Europe had any open ocean sea faring capabilities.
The issue I am having is a Polynesian empire. The closest empire you got is Tongan Empire. A Polynesian empire aint impossible, but you need one man to fuse it all which requires creating a very ambitious, megalomaniac Polynesian.
The first (three?) migration(s?) into Australia fail, and the land is completely settled by the Lapita culture for the first time in 1500 B.C. In the tropical north, their agriculture succeeds in creating large, settled communities which develop into kingdoms that eventually conquer each-other, forming a large empire in the northeast.
Why would you need the first migrations to fail? Wont you want people there to (conquer) and have as manpower? Unless you mean no humans at all and thus possibly no man-made brush fires systematically desertifying the interior (if that theory is being subscribed to)

A storm causes the Maori boats to land somehwere in NSW (instead of OTL New Zealand) from where they start build an empire spanning from Cairns to Melbourne and use the Aboriginals as slaves to build pyramids and all that civilization stuff?
Now I'm curious, which city is that?
