Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

I would like to acknowledge and pay my respect to the traditional custodians and first nations peoples of the land on which I live, care, practice, connect and find wonder and all the first nations peoples of Australia. I recognise their continued connection to the land, waters and seas, and firmly acknowledge that they never ceded sovereignty. I pay my respect to their ancestors and elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all First Nations people.
