No Water
When the white people came they had not realised that the Aboriginals owned all the land in different groups, so they thought that no one owned the land and took it for their own. The strange animals that the Anangu people had been seeing were cattle and horses. The cattle had been drinking all the water from the waterholes that the Anangu people drink to survive and the cattle were eating the grass that the bush animals used to eat. The cattle had been trampling over all the soft land. -
