The VOC had no intentions in establising settlements, they wanted to trade.
A number of VOC ship's shipwrecked along the Australian coast: Batavia 1629, Vergulden Draeck 1656, Zuytdorp 1712, Zeewijk 1727
The Batavia, Zuytdorp. It is believed that a number of people survived the Zuytdorp tragedy and these Dutch may have been assimilated into the local Aboriginal community.
