ARTWORK STORY

Aboriginal people stand nearby as the Redcoat invade their precious waterhole or billabong so the squatters could take over the land easily. A sign was probably put up to warn other white men but as Aboriginal people as well as wildlife could not read this was an effective plan to exterminate the Aboriginal population.
