I acknowledge and pay my respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations, on whose land I learn and create.
I pay my respects to their elders, past and present. There is an incredible history of storytelling on this country
which I am honoured to play a part in. I remember that sovereignty has never been ceded and no treaty signed.
Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
