All this is explained in Prof. Douglas Pike’s article “Introduction of the Real Property Act in South Australia” for which I provided a link in my previous post. It’s worth taking the time and making the effort to read it.

I have no axe to grind, Joe. So please let me have the reference of any concrete evidence you may be aware of that contradicts the historical account of Nic Klaassen’s “Flinders Ranges Research” article (for which I also provided a link in my previous post) in which he indicates :

« For many years there were conflicts between the pastoralists and Aborigines. As their tribal lands were gradually taken over the Aborigines lost their natural food supplies. When they killed sheep or cattle the pastoralists retaliated by killing the Aborigines »

Failing that, I guess there’s not much else we can do and will just have to leave it at that.
