We would like to acknowledge the Taungurung people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are gathered. 

We would like to pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge the richness of the spirit of cultures that continues in this country. 

From desert lands to the seas, from the mountains to the rivers and to the sky and beyond.

              We would like to thank the ancestors for their presence and their guidance.
