Our class, 5/6A, believes that the balance of nature was broken when Tjulkura came.
Tjulkura used valuable water supplies in the soaks. The cattle trampled the ground with their hard hooves and ate the bush tucker. Native animals and Anangu were eventually forced to move.
The Tjulkura took more than they needed, whereas Anangu only took what was necessary for their survival.
The Anangu really understood their land after living with it for thousands of years. In contrast the Tjulkura were seeing the land for the first time and wasted it's resources. The Anangu were part of the land and it was part of them. However, the Tjulkura saw the land as something that could be used, not thinking about the long term effects. They were selfish.
All of this makes us feel disappointed that it has taken Tjulkura so long to learn about the balance of nature.
