We acknowledge the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia and Jupagulk Peoples (collectively Wotjobaluk) of Dyuritte, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather today. As Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people together we have a sense of the importance of the country upon which we are standing, where exploration has taken place over many thousands of years. Let us sense the land beneath our feet and acknowledge to whom it belongs and pay our respects to their elders and all elders, past, present, and future.
