When Tasman sailed to New Zealand in OTL, he was given a rather hostile reception by the Maori who killed several of his sailors and sent the explorer packing. Undoubtedly, this did the Maori a lot of good as it averted European interest from their land for quite a while.
But what if Tasman had sailed to a land with no humans, just tall forests, giant birds, and monstrous eagles? I know the VOC was not very interested in creating settler colonies, but would they see potential in settling this completely uncharted territory, or would they just abandon it to keep their focus on Indonesia?
