[Also known as Ntaria. Una Teague and Jessie Trail visited Hermannsberg in 1932 and reported back to Violet in Melbourne about the deadly drought at the Lutheran Mission. Being internationally acclaimed artists and advocates for Indigenous people the world over, it was time the sisters turned their attention to assisting Indigenous people in Australia. The sisters then planned a road trip and that's the story of how they became advocates and fundraisers for the Kaporilya pipeline project to get water from the Kaporilya underground springs to the Hermannsburg Mission. The sisters raised over two thousand pounds. The sisters hired a Studebaker car as well as a 19 year old taxi driver from a Frankston firm and set out, camping all the way. Jose Petrick Alice Springs historian said that during the drought 85% of babies perished and many of the adults suffered scurvy and other skin diseases because their food sources had dried up as well as the water. During their stay, Albert Namatjira was their camel driver, cook and guide. Violet returned to Melbourne displayed her paintings of Hermannsburg in an exhibition also asked local Melbourne artist to donate a painting each to be sold to raise money and awareness for the pipeline project. Needing three thousand pounds total Violet asked the Argus Newpaper in Melbourne and the Adelaide Advertiser to run an appeal to raise funds and they had an overwhelming response. Pipeline was commenced December 1934 and completed September 1935]
