The latest European scientific reports date Aboriginal occupation of northern Australia from at least 60,000 years ago but it was a little over one hundred years ago that the first missionaries and mineral prospectors arrived in Central Australia. They were soon joined by government officers and pastoralists with cattle and sheep which fouled the waterholes and grazed on the bush tucker Aboriginal people relied on. Aboriginal people resisted the colonisation of their land. The Government Resident of the Northern Territory reported in 1889: After careful inquiry I am of the opinion that this is the attitude of the aborigines towards Europeans: Entrance into their country is an act of invasion. It is a declaration of war, and they will halt at no opportunity of attacking the white invaders. Justifying their actions by a belief in the superiority of their civilisation, the colonisers pushed Aboriginal people off the fertile lands into controlled settlements.
