		Ooldea lies on the edge of the scrub country and at the beginning of the Nullarbor plain.
		Ooldea Mission closed in 1952, and most people living there were moved to Yalata Station, which had been purchased by the Government in 1951.
		Many people have returned to country around Ooldea and to the north with the return of their land under the Maralinga Tjarutja Land Rights Act of 1984, and the handback of Ooldea to Aboriginal people in 1988.

	Ooldea - South Australia - Australia - Travel - smh.com.au
		Ooldea's importance is based on its proximity to permanent water in an area where the average annual rainfall is below 200mm.
		It was discovered by Europeans in the mid nineteenth century and the explorer Ernest Giles, on his epic 1875 journey from Beltana to Perth, used the waterhole at Ooldea (along with other waterholes on the Nullarbor Plain such as Wynbring and Ooldabinna) as a vital stopping point.
		In the 1950s, as a result of the atomic bomb trials at Maralinga, the local Aboriginal community was moved further south to Yalata.

		However, the cases illustrated below demonstrate that in Aboriginal Australia such agency and strategy are framed with respect to a rather formal grid of rules and expected behaviour tied to marriage prescriptions, kinship terminologies and kin categories.
		As Tonkinson (1991: 57) explains for a western group of the Western Desert cultural bloc, 'the moral universe of the Mardu is populated solely with relatives'.
		Berndt (1941: 8) reports how he was told at Ooldea that the Wati Kutjarra legend came from the distant north-west, 'where the pearl-shell comes from', and that 'many articles of trade have and still do come down the ancestral tracks, which were probably migratory'.

		The coastline of South Australia was made known to Europeans by four expeditions between 1627 and 1803.
		The inset map of Australia shows the routes of those expeditions which passed through South Australia or which began or ended beyond its borders.
		The explorations of the 1840s generated a gloomy view of South Australia as a small 'fertile island' of habitable country enclosed on the east by the sterile sands and limestone of the Murray Plains, on the north by a vast horseshoe of salt lakes, and by a waterless desert to the west.

	Berndt, Catherine H. \| Encyclopedia of Religion
		Berndt's first fieldwork in Ooldea in the west of South Australia—where, along with her husband, she studied the impact of transcontinental railway on the local population—set the stage for much that would follow.
		The Berndts' research of the early 1940s among the Yaraldi (Ngarrindjeri) of the Lower Murray region of South Australia, a people whose contacts with outsiders reach back to the 1800s, is ambivalent regarding the extent of women's secret religious traditions and has been subject to critical scrutiny in the context of a major court case.
		In 1987 she received the Order of Australia and an honorary doctorate from the University of Western Australia, where a prize is awarded annually in her name to the female whose Ph.D. thesis made the most outstanding contribution to social anthropological knowledge of Aboriginal Australia.

	Atlas of South Australia \| Aboriginal Occupation
		By examining changes in technologies, dietary practices, art forms, and other economic and social indicators, archaeologists are now endeavouring to unravel the course of Aboriginal settlement in a continent largely isolated for most of its history from the rest of the world.
		Our understanding of pre-European settlement in South Australia is confined to a small number of recorded sites.
		Because of trade on the continent was overland and on foot, the key centres of exchange tended to be well inland at sites where fresh water was plentiful, and access and movement were facilitated along periodic watercourses or between suitably spaced water-holes.

	Daisy Bates (Australia) Summary
		In 1884 at the age of twenty-one she migrated to Australia on the Almora.
		Following her final separation from Bates in 1902, she spent most of the rest of her life in outback Western and South Australia, studying and working for the remote Aboriginal tribes, who were being decimated by the incursions of European settlement and the introduction of modern technology, western culture and exotic diseases.
		Living in a tent in small settlements from Western Australia to the edges of the Nullarbor Plain, notably at Ooldea in South Australia, she researched and wrote millions of words on the subject.

		The hopes of self-sufficiency were unfulfilled, despite considerable clearing and planting of citrus and stone fruit trees, and herds of sheep and cows.
		Ration stations on the other hand, were simply that – a place where the government handed out supplies of food and clothing to Aboriginal people, partly to compensate in a small way for the loss of their land and the hunting and fishing they thereby lost.
		Moorundie, with Edward Eyre in control, was established south of present-day Blanchetown, in 1841.

		But after occupying Australia for 200 years the time seems right to move on from imported ideas.
		The mood of gardeners seems to suggest that the time is right for change and growth in our ideas about what gardening here is about, what plants will do well for us and how we might explore the possibilities of design that are in tune with this place where we choose to live.
		We can finally understand that however much water we apply with hoses, sprinklers or drippers we will not be able to reproduce the seasonal patterns of a completely different environment: Sissinghurst is forever in Kent; Giverny is forever in the Ile de France.
