Welcome and Acknowledgement of Country

Whenever we come together, we remember that we were not the first people of this land. We acknowledge that the Gaibal, Jarawair and western Wakka Wakka people and their Elders, past, present and emerging, have lived on and moved across this land. These traditional custodians belong to the land, water, sky and stars, in a physical and spiritual connection. They have cared for this place for millennia, and we thank and respect them for their care, their traditions, and for the way their special dreams and stories have became part of us and of our story. Whenever we come together, whoever we are and wherever we come from, may we hear, learn from, and nurture each other in the spirit of reconciliation and peace.
