We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this beautiful country where the rainforest meets the sea.
We pay our respects to the Kuku Yalanji and Yirrganydji peoples as the original Nations of these lands. We honour Elders past and present, and recognise the enduring stories, songlines, and deep stewardship woven through this land, sea, and sky.
