I respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Ngurra land where I live and work today, the Dharug and Gundungurra people. I pay respect to Tribal Elders past, present and emerging. I recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community and  celebrate their continuing culture. I extend deep gratitude for this beautiful country.

This always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
