We acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation as traditional owners of the land on which this collection was produced. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. First Nations people on this continent have been sharing stories and knowledge for tens of thousands of years. We are grateful to be able to continue this tradition on what is, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
