As a Yorta Yorta winyarr, a guest living on the unceded lands of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people on the Eastern Kulin Nations, I wish to pay my gratitude and respect to Country, Waters, Sky, all the Beings, to the Ancestors of this Country, to the Babies, Elders past and present, to song, dance, ceremony and knowledge held here, today, forever and always.
